HEN PICKED Chicks

• Varied Selection: Each HEN PICKED Chicks box contains 10 adorably fluffy day-old chicks randomly selected from five distinctive breeds—Swedish Flower Hen, Shetland Hen, Swedish Black Hen, Icelandic, or Hedemora.

  • Hedemora: Known for their creamy white to beige eggs, sometimes with dots and small spots. These calm and friendly birds weigh about 4 lbs for hens and 5 lbs for cocks, laying around 150 eggs annually. They are often broody, excellent mothers, and exceptionally cold hardy, though they struggle in high heat.
  • Swedish Black Hen: Producing 100-150 light brown eggs annually, these alert and intelligent birds weigh approximately 3 lbs for hens and 4.5 lbs for cocks. They are occasionally broody and have good cold and moderate heat tolerance.
