This is the only remnant of the Swedish breed Moliljan originating from Småland and the village of Målilla not too far from where I’m originally from.

It belongs to a group of chicken breeds created by Sweden’s most prolific chicken expert Martin Silverudd.

Unfortunately what you see on this picture is not Moliljan but a mix breed, they originate from the last lead I came up with when it came to localize a pure breed flock

But regrettably I was too late and these flock was mixed with other chicken breeds making the offspring useless for conservation purposes
