hi! i saw you have Swedish Flower Hens. was wondering if you have any available for purchase? thanks! blythe

3rd pic looks like a partridge rock roo. Shiny green feathers and coloring looks like mine.

I'm not sure! Leaning hen, but she does have a larger comb/waddles than my SS girl. Maybe check for hackle feathers around her neck-- are they spoon shaped or pointy? Better pictures would help!

Thanks everyone! Now all I need is a name for that girl...

Yay!! So does she just have a freakishly large comb for a plymouth rock hen? My barred plymouth rock hen has a nearly invisible comb. Maybe it's the crappy breeding from the hatchery? LOL!

bumping for new pics... guesses?!

Looks like my girl... her face turns red when she's running around. But you don't know till they crow, eh?

anyone have a guess?

Looks girly to me!

So did she just have a huge comb and wattle? I've got a Columbian Rock about 15 weeks right now that has a big comb/wattle. I swore until just a few weeks ago that she was a hen (and am still hoping she is a hen!), but the comb/wattles scream ROO to me! Nice to know there might be hope!

They look like pullets to me. I have to SLWs and I was on the fence with both of them until more recently. They do make the guessing game harder. I do have to say that the head shape of yours looks very feminine-- a lot like my GLW actually who is definitely a girl!

NEW PICS BELOW! Give me your two cents-- I'll take it! Okay, I was certain that this was a girl until about 12 weeks, when he/she started sprouting a huge red comb and wattles. Before then, the only thing about he/she that would have indicated anything "rooish" about the bird was his/her...

Thanks! Is it the redness in the Wyandottes that is tipping you off? They really have no comb formation yet, just smooth still... but they are starting to get pinker. Though they're supposed to be a rose comb breed.

Anyone else help with the other chicks?

I think a couple of the brown rocks on the top might be partridge rocks... and the white/yellow chicks with banding on the wings may be colombian rocks... that's my guess!
