    That doesn't happen very often! Congrats on such a lovely bunch of youngsters :clap Are you growing your flock, or selling them on?

    congratulations! It's a bit too soon to tell what plumage she'll have, or a crest. I've got several with crests that didn't show until feathers came through. This lot looked like this after 8 weeks, and almost all turned out with crests It will be interesting to see how Tango turns out...

    Sorry to hear about her trauma, but glad to hear she survived and is recovering. My Sven had fox bite wounds to the neck and elsewhere and made a full recovery, so hopefully she will too. The youngsters look gorgeous.

    Could I persuade you to hold fire on those decisions? In my experience (5 roos to date, and another in the making) they are all jerks when their hormones start flowing. Their true personalities will show only when that phase passes.

    looks like an excellent place! and your birds are gorgeous. You have quite a few roos methinx; are you OK with that? How old is the bird in the first photo? looks like a pullet to me, but age matters in these things.

    following your post, I went hunting for some guidelines, and found this, which is useful, but would suggest that this bird is indeed a product of mixed breeding. Green legs are a criterion for exclusion, and few white dots on plumage are an unwanted criterion...

    There is no such thing as in the sense that there is no recognized standard. The Swedes are trying to preserve the existing genetic pool of the foundation flocks on which the breed's revival rested, but elsewhere there's no such effort as far as I can see.

    he's a handsome chap! Yes the 'poof' is a crest. Are grey legs common for SFH? I had one with dark spots on its legs, but the rest of mine have/had yellow or colourless legs.

    I don't know with SFH, but would be interested to hear your experience as they grow up. I found it worked with Barbezieux, on a very small sample!
