Breeding question - I just hatched 7 chicks from a single source. Some of her birds were acquired directly from GFF, some from another trusted source (who bought direct from GFF) - so I know they are pure. My plan is to start breeding - can I start with just this group? Or do I need to find...

My 7 new babies hatched April 18 and 19. 1 black and white, 5 various shades of redish brown and 1 light colored. The light colored one with the gold face is pale yellow with a lavender patch on her back. I'll try and get some good individual pictures soon.

Yippee! I woke up to 4 little fuzzy Swedes in the bator and 1 more pipped.

YEA! Pictures Please! I need some cutness right now. I just put 9 (out of 21) eggs into lockdown - I'm really hoping they all hatch. I know SFH are notoriously hard to hatch but I was really hoping for better results. I meet the breeder 1/2 way on a 2 hour trip so the eggs didn't take the...

I'm down to 11 out of 21 in the bator - including the cracked eggs which is still going but the aircell is looking large. Going to lockdown Wednesday evening and .

I just set 21 SFH eggs! :celebrate I soooooooo hope we get a good hatch :fl

With the white on the chest she's not a legbar...keep us posted as she grows.

I am certainly no expert but she looks like a Cream Legbar to me. ETA - Does she have a crest starting? (it's hard to tell with the blurred out section on her head)

I've learned very quickly to question everything and do tons of research. (I've been stalking this thread for almost a year now) ;) Exactly! I don't understand people who don't want to learn more about something they love. And there's the one's who are in it for the quick buck. Those I will...

The lack of integrity in some breeders is appalling - it makes me so nervous to buy eggs from anyone I can't visit to view their flocks; especially rare breeds (BYC members excluded of course!) On your chick with the eye problem - I had a similar situation with a bantam cochin last spring...

Please forgive my ignorance here but when did the Frizzle get to be a part of the SFH? I would think that a land-race breed wouldn't carry any frizzle since those would be picked off by predators first. Are they a mix? Or am I missing something?

Beautiful! I really enjoy all the wonderful pictures you post - both here and on FB. I'm so sorry for your loss - he was a beautiful bird. I hope you get some roos just like him.

Congrats on the new eggs! I'm still waiting for mine to start laying. And I agree with Bulldogma (below) about the sprigs on your roo. To cute! She must have a much better view from up there x2

I'm so sorry! She was beautiful. Too cute, Thanx for sharing.

Beautiful!

Thank you!

This is my beautiful girl - now 15 weeks and still unnamed. Would she be a blue based? Any other comments/critiques would be great.

For those of you who use the "dry" incubation method for SFD- what does that mean in the way of humidity? I can see it being very different depending on the climate and am wondering what percentage seems to be best (or better). Also, will anyone have any hatching eggs for sale in the near...

So glad the little one is doing better! And those stripes are adorable! We'll need lots of pictures as they grow up. Beautiful! and the reds! WOW!

I'm so sorry to hear about your flock. But what an awesome friend to have! Good luck with your hatch.
