Swedish Flower Hen Thread

Take whatever you like!

Great photos! I may have to steal the one with them on the steps to showcase on my blog (if you don't mind).

This photo is adorable. Swedish Flower Hen pullet with a Blue Swedish duckling. These two are always together, like they are best friends.

No, the duckling does not have her head trapped in chicken wire. There was a fold in the wire from my 6 year old stepping over the wire to get into the pen. And actually, all the SFH except my blacks are now free ranging (!). The ducks are right with them. Love it.

Wonder if this is the guy assigned to the packages marked "Fragile - Hatching Eggs"?

 

[Leahs Mom]

YES! That would be the guy!

 

[SunnySkies]

it's probably a good thing he's in china, not working for usps... but I think he's got relatives that do.

That's disturbing... in any country.

These birds are about 12 weeks old. They've been displaying, wings down, beak to beak at times, and their combs look rather large for such young birds...to me. Also the tail feathers growing long. I'm figuring they must be roosters but these are my 1st Swedish Flowering Hens, so I wanted to get the opinion of those more familiar with the breed. Thanks.
