Fifty Five Flower
The Fifty Five Flower breed was created by Father Martin Silverudd in Sweden in 1955 (hence the name). Fifty Five Flowers were the first breed invented by Silverudd and they continue to deliver on his goals: Create an autosexing chicken that produces eggs for the table in commercial quantities. Using different varieties of leghorns, the Fifty Five Flowers are a breed where the rooster looks very different than the hen throughout its life.
Adult male Fifty Five roosters are largely white with upright combs and while the females are a beautiful gold decorated with a unique spotted pattern; the ‘flowers’ that contribute to the breed name.
Energetic, entertaining, and smart - these birds are an economic choice as they consume less than their larger chicken cousins.

This rare breed is possibly the best layer of any homestead chicken breed. Although medium sized and slim, the Fifty Five Flower hen will produce 250 large-to-extra-large, pure white eggs/year.
As a day-old chick the males are easy to distinguish by the blonde down on the backs of their heads while the females are darker with more distinct stripes.
