Svart Hönas – The All-Black Rarity Gems in the Poultry Word
The Svart Hona is a rare Swedish landrace chicken, admired by collectors worldwide for its mesmerizing all-black beauty. From feathers to skin and even their bones, these birds carry the dramatic fibromelanistic trait that sets them apart from ordinary chickens.
Unlike other black chicken breeds, the Svart Hona is a true landrace — shaped by centuries of natural selection in Sweden, making them hardy, adaptable, and a living piece of history. Occasionally, they even display the woolly feather variant, a recessive gene that creates a soft, silkie-like appearance, adding to their uniqueness.
✨ Why They’re Coveted:
- Striking all-black plumage and fibromelanistic traits
- A rare landrace preserved by only a handful of breeders
- Unique genetic diversity, including the rare woolly gene
- Perfect centerpiece for collectors of rare and exotic poultry
Owning Svart Hönas isn’t just raising chickens — it’s curating a rare treasure.
✨ Why Homesteaders Love Them:
- Hardy and low-maintenance landrace
- 150–200 white eggs per year
- Excellent foragers and adaptable in various climates
- Beautiful, rare, and full of personality
Svart Hönas bring beauty, history, and usefulness to any flock — proof that rare doesn’t have to mean fragile.
Getting a box of hatching eggs from Freshly Picked Chicks is magical and always exciting! When we open it up there are stickers, a card and booster mix... and most importantly, you can tell that great care goes into getting these little eggs to you. This time we got Svart Hona hatching eggs and they made it through 3 days of travel safe and sound with no cracks and no scrambled air cells. Not only were the eggs in great shape, but they were also all consistently sized and their shape was perfect... you can tell that Shannon carefully selects the eggs to send. They are in the incubator right now and we are so excited! Thank you, Shannon, for sharing your amazing eggs and taking such special care to get them safely to us!
