Two images of Sheldor. One take early this Spring (with a Mottled Houdan) and one taken last November when he was growing his sickle feathers.

I got him from Marcia last August. His sire is Bazinga. Good wings and feet. There are pic on the PCOV FB page but I'll post here later too.

For Virginia Fanciers --- Sheldor, my 1 year old SFH cock needs to be rehomed. He is great with his hens and an excellent guardian to them. Ignores the dogs and cat, respectful of humans BUT I've discovered he needs to be in a breeding pen or the only rooster on the farm. He was second in...

Congrats! They are great little birds. Friendly, funny, pretty and good layers. I wish I had enough funds and space to raise all the breeds I like, but alas, I need to focus more on a few.

Near Richmond.

I don't need to rehome them, I'm just not working with the breed anymore and don't need extra roosters running around. Posting here because many SFH fans are in Virginia and might be interested in the dark hen...which would only go with the rooster. Keeping the other hens in the layer flock...

I'm phasing out my SFHs and have a pair for sale. The cockerel is 6 months old, a crested, traditional red/black millefleur. The hen is 18 months old, also crested and is the gold hackle black mottled. Both are direct from GFF. $40 for the pair. Unfortunately I don't ship adult...

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND many happy hatches in 2014!

I haven't had a cock/cockerel test me yet (knock on wood) but I do have fun with them on occasion, just to remind them who is boss. I have an old, old floppy trench coat that I put on to feed in the mornings before leaving for work. It's mainly to keep my work clothes clean, but it also...

Love that red "pyle" rooster; he looks alot like my Sheldor (cockerel.) And here is a bit more eye candy. Pictures taken on Saturday during the brief moment of sunshine in the past week. Helga, my dark SFH backlit then flashing her golden 'collar' in the sun; and Eld, the crested red mille...

Err, mine are 100% free ranging. I am maintaining one crested and one non-crested cock bird and 3 crested hens along with their offspring. I may change up the males for their sons as time progresses, but otherwise I'm not going to select for color/type, crests, etc. I don't plan to...

I'll be at the VABreeders show too. Will be exhibiting 2 mottled houdan pullets.

Posting updates of my 'Bazinga son' -- Sheldor. Got him at 13 weeks old back in July. He's filling out nicely, no split wing or curled toes. Now if only the EO rooster would leave his new tail feathers alone! and the young cockerel 'Eld' a GFF July baby. Definitely looks like he's...

Leah's Mom: I'm going to guess pullet based on comb and lack of wattles. What do the saddle feathers look like? I've had dominant hens that challenged her hatchmates until she was top dog and later even roosters in the flock. Cute, but that's not pouf! This is pouf (Mottled Houdan...

Love these pens. Is that hardware cloth or screening? We're building a new chicken building and divided pens like these will be the under roof portion. I've been trying to decide between traditional hex wire, hardware cloth and screening since I won't have to worry about predators inside...

Don't get rid of those white based youngsters yet! The mostly white chicks early on, turn out to have great mottling as adults. This breed really does change quite a bit over time.

Awwww. So cute.

Love this girl! She looks so much like my Roka. Roka was a 'black' (now it's obvious she was VERY dark blue) chick from GF. Then she shaded blue and now she is this gray/blue/dun color with gold/brown in her hackles like your Ms. Gray. Here she is at 16 weeks. (Roka means 'smoke' in...

To clarify, the blue chick on the bottom started out as a black downed chick. I re-read my post and didn't make clear that the reference to bird above, meant the bird in the post above, not the photo immediately above in the same post. That light non-crested hen was a lavender down chick...

Awww, how cute. Congrats! My Helga looked like your red headed dark ones as a chick. We had a lavender down chick too --- lost her over the winter --- but here is her autumn picture. 4 And here's a full body shot of the same girl above who arrived as a black chick like yours.
