They are well! I sold a few to a friend recently. I think I have 2 pullets and 2 cockerels left. Of course the only crested one I have is probably a roo. The 2 roos will need new homes soon. How are your birds?
Thanks for the pictures to compare! This is my third time trying for a crested pullet. I guess I need to throw in the towel. I don't keep roosters so they will all be rehomed. Love the variety of colors you can get with this breed!
My flowers are about 5 weeks old now and 3 of them have crests!
I'm positive this guy is a cockerel
Would love for this one to be a pullet, but sadly I think it will be a cockerel:
I have 2 black ones, I have no idea what they will turn out to look like:
I have 2 gray ones just...
They are beautiful roosters! I have 8 chicks that are around a month old - I'll let you know if I have extra girls. Sorry that one chick you got from me was a late bloomer!

I had 2 Swede pullets that laid small eggs in the beginning, but they did started to increase in size after a few months. They looked like bantam eggs at first though! My cochins' eggs start out that small as well.
I love my Swedes, they have such unique, corky personalities. They're always very interested in me and what I'm doing. When I sit on a log in their run, they always hop up next to me.
