WELCOME TO THE SVART HONA PAGE. IF YOU HAVE LANDED HERE, THEN YOU ARE IN FOR A SPECIAL TREAT.
JUST LIKE THE AYEM CEMANI, THIS BEAUTIFULLY RARE SWEDISH BIRD IS BLACK FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
THESE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING BIRDS ARE SOMETHING TO BEHOLD. THEY ARE RARE AND THE VERY PRESENCE OF THE FARM IS SPECIAL. THE PERSONALITIES CAN SOMETIMES A BIT ALOOF BUT NOT FLIGHTY. THEY USUALLY WANT YOU MOST WHEN THEY ARE OUT OF FOOD OR IN NEED OF SOMETHING. PERHAPS A LONG OVER DUE TREAT. THEY DON'T MIND IF YOUR'E AROUND, BUT PREFER THEIR OWN KIND. THEY LOVE TO FORAGE, BUT CAN BE CONFINED JUST THE SAME. HENS CAN GO BROODY.
THE SVART HONA IS MORE COLD TOLERANT THAN THE SIMILAR AYEM CEMANI. THEY ARE BUILT BETTER FOR THE CANADIAN CLIMATE. THE BIRDS ARE NOT AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS HUMANS AND ARE HAPPY DOING THEIR OWN THING. THEY CAN BE TAMED FROM CHICKS IF YOU SPEND DAILY TIME WITH THEM.
