    Fifty Five Flowery Hens were created –spoiler alert!—in 1955 in Sweden by Father Martin Silverudd, also the creator of the silverrudd blue. Fifty Fives were the first breed invented by Silverudd and over a half-century have proven to be his most successful creation. While the half-dozen or so of the Silverudd chicken breeds have largely slid into obscurity, Fifty Fives remain in a few commercial flocks in their native country. Fifty Fives deliver on the goals initially established by Silverudd: Create an autosexing chicken that produces eggs for the table in commercial quantities. Using different varieties of leghorns Silverudd created a breed where the rooster looks very different than the hen throughout its life. Greenfire Farms was the first to import this breed into the United States.
    As a day-old chick the males are easy to distinguish by the blonde down on the backs of their heads, and as adults the males are largely white while the females are decorated with a beautiful spotted pattern; the ‘flowers’ that contribute to the breed name.
    We do not base shipping off of the shipping date EBay provides. Due to wanting to send you the freshest eggs, please allow time for us to gather eggs and for time filling previous orders- order will ship within a week of receiving payment. Tracking will be sent to you as soon as they ship.
    Due to circumstances beyond our control, we do not guarantee hatch rates. We have a good hatch rate here but you may not have the same because of rough shipping, (damage to the membranes), carrier handling, weather, incubator issues, etc. Shipping eggs are risky; please understand that. We cannot replace eggs due to the shipping service's mishandling. We are NPIP certified and the VS 9-3 form will be included in the box
