Is this a Swedish Flower Hen?

[IamRainey]

This is Spot my, supposedly, 3wo Swedish Flower Hen.

I'm aware that SFH can come in any color including black but I thought white tips on their feathers were a defining characteristic. Spot only has a single white feather on each wing. And, so far as I can tell, those 2 feathers are entirely white.

Waddaya think? Is she a Swedish Flower Hen? Will her color change as she matures? My Speckled Sussex is showing all the lovely colors I would expect at the same age as she feathers out.

The first time I ordered a SFH from the hatchery they coudn't fill my order after I'd waited almost 6 months. This time I got Spot and I'm concerned I got skunked again.

It's a bit early to tell; this chick at 4 weeks

grew into this pullet

at 5 months.

Thanks! That's reassuring.

That's a very dramatic difference in appearance! Where did all that white breast go?

 

[Perris]

indeed; it'll be interesting to see what Spot's white chest turns into

Forgot to say how pretty your SFH is! Crossing my fingers that I get some of that interesting coloration over time.
