Shetland Hen

$12.00

If you’re looking for an easy-going, naturally friendly bird, you’ve found your match — and you’ll be helping save a critically endangered breed while you’re at it!

This rare landrace breed is now available from TBH Farm and comes with an incredible history. Shetlands descend from Spanish birds brought to Scotland over 500 years ago, making them as storied as they are special.

These absolute cuties are famous for their charming “tapps” — little feather tufts on their heads that make them look like mom gave them a bowl cut. Their feathers are some of the softest and silkiest we’ve ever felt, and their sweet, calm nature makes them a joy to keep. It’s no wonder they’re listed on the Slow Food Ark of Taste as a breed in critical need of preservation.

Please note, due to their adorable tapps, they are less likely to see predators, especially from the sky.

Eggs: Shetland hens lay beautiful blue or green eggs. Our flock produces eggs in a very light French blue or a lovely moss green shade.

$12 per egg
