The Queen Silvia chicken was developed by Swedish geneticist Martin Silverudd to honor Sweden's longest reigning queen, Silvia. These are medium size, athletic chickens, who lay large amounts of pinkish-tan eggs. They are very curious and have to investigate any new thing in their area. The roosters are average size. They are very good foragers and fliers. They will hide eggs in out of the way places and seem to prefer laying outside to in an egg box. These are hardy chickens, but can be flighty when in a group.

East Frisian Gulls are an "Old World" landrace imported by Greenfire farm in 2014. They originate from the coastal ares of Germany, Belgium and Denmark. The German name for these chickens is Ostfriesische Möwe. These chickens are a graceful landrace who are very good foragers. They fly well and lay lots of large light cream to white eggs. They are found in 3 colors, gold, lemon and silver. Their disposition is calm, but not friendly. They are hardy and disease resistant even as chicks. They are very rare in their native countries with reports less than 1000 now exist.

These are my absolute favorite chicken. Each one of them has their own personality, as well as their own unique patterns and colors of "flowers". They will run to you when they see you and come over to check out whatever you are doing. Rarely to never aggressive, they are exceptionally curious and will walk in the house or perch on an open car door. I love these hearty, gorgeous chickens who seem to truly like human interaction, but are also independent enough to forage. They mix well with other breeds too.
