Hedemora are possibly the most cold hardy chickens in the world. Their combs and wattles have evloved to a reduced size, minimizing the ravages of frostbite to their extremities, and the skin that is visible is often black to absorb the weak rays of the northern sun. I have 4 Hedemora chicks hatched 09/18/12. One of the chicks has feathered legs and all are healthy and thriving. Hedemora are a land race that over time split into three distinct varieties: a version that has fine, puffy feathering that covers its body and gives it the slightly unsettling appearance of a furry chicken; a feather legged variety with an under layer of down hidden beneath more conventional smooth feathers; and a clean legged variety with smooth outer feathers and the hidden under layer of down. Be the first to have some of these unique chickens in your flock. We do ship for an additional $60.00. I will not ship until the chicks are at least 10-14 days old. Home pick-up is welcome!
