Aren't all the SFH's in the US from Greenfire? How can we tell what lines the 2nd or 3rd generation eggs/birds we have are from ?

Yes, I would imagine they are all Greenfire. However they did import 3 different lines and breeding 2nd or 3rd cousins would have to be better than fathers to daughters, right?? Just guessing here, please be honest and set me straight if WE need to save postage....

 

Thanks!

WELL THEN, please pm me when your youngsters start laying and hopefully we can meet up!! I'm in Calera, but work in Riverchase!

 

I think they only imported twice, but I read someplace they may import more this year. When I got my chicks the two lines where marked. Does someone have three lines?

Ps My sister-in-law lives in Calera, pretty lakes in AL. We try to visit once a year.

GREAT! small world huh? please keep me in mind to trade eggs or if you make the trip before then (mine hatched 1/21) I'd love to buy eggs! Just PM me before your trip. I have to say I LOVE THESE SWEDES!!! They are the friendliest animals on earth. I believe they are friendlier than my dogs! (and they are pretty dang in your face).

I sure will, I just sent you a PM!

I have no idea. I'm new at these. I have 3 crested chicks. Don't know sex yet

I had eggs shipped in from someone who bought several different orders from GFF. Sadly, my crested eggs didn't make it. So my 4 babies are normal headed...if that's what you call it *lol*

3 out of my 4 are crested

3 of my 4 (one month) are also crested (I am partial to crested) and I believe pullets,  which is good for me, because a have a grown SFH roo. I have him with 2 EE hens, 1 BR hen and a BO.

I now have 26 eggs in my incubator. 11 from last Thursday and 15 today.  Got a tray of quail eggs in there and saving the other 9 holes for Jumbo Pekin eggs
