I will say that I swore my crested hen was a cockeral, up until she squat for me, only because her comb was bigger. I definitely haven't had enough experience with these as chicks to hazard a "good" guess yet, sorry. Hopefully I will be hatching some of my own in a few weeks if their coop ever comes in he.gif

Thanks for giving me hope that the crested one could be a hen. Good luck with your hatching. Not sure what you meant about "their coop coming in?" Mine will be "graduating" from thier brooder to a puppy exercise pen (with a top) this weekend. Check out the nifty brooder my hubby made for my chicks. I also have another batch coming, this next one from GFF, on Mar. 28. So there's still hope for more hens.

I had to wait until the chicks were 2 weeks old to start using the holes to feed and water thru as the holes were a bit too big but working well now.

 I was talking about my adults, they have a hedemora roo that keeps mating them because the shed I bought from lowes that is going to be their coop hasn't come in yet. Once the shed gets here they will have their own place so I am certain to hatch pure eggs.

 

cute set up you got there big_smile.png

I have 9 eggs coming to me. This will be my first attempt at hatching and I had to pick these. They are soo pretty I just couldn't pass them up. I'm just so nervous and excited at the same time. barnie.gifya.gif

Hey guys, I thought this would be the best place to put this post. I am new to the Swedish Flower breed, I have been breeding hennie gamefowl for a while. 

 

I am looking to start a flock of  SFH chicks, started to adults. 

 

 

 

Anyone that had some they are planning on finding a home for and are willing to ship, please let me know....

 

 

I currently have 15 eggs in the incubator I picked up off here and can't wait til they hatch.

 

 

Thanks for your time....
