This is pretty much exactly the game plan I have laid out. I normally do add water a bit earlier, but don’t want to drown them this time around! Thank you for your advice! 🤗

I placed 20 of my Swedish Flower Hen eggs in the incubator in 2 batches at the end of last month and they are all still squirming! I’ve got 13 eggs on day 16 and 7 more on day 14. I had my humidity up to 48% after what I saw happened to my shipped eggs last year (😱), but now the air sacs are on...

Please, please, please post pics of your babes when they arrive. I have a 100% SFH flock but am interested in what your mixes might look like. Best of luck on your hatch!

My current roo, Coolio, impressing one of his henny pennies, May

There's no barring at all on my SFH roo. You can see similarities to your guy in the face, though.

I once received 7 SFH chicks who were 2nd generation from GFF. All but one were beautiful mixed colors of standard SFH phenotypes. The odd one out was a blue and white barred pullet. When I contacted the person who gave her to me, she confirmed that the mother hen was directly from GFF. The...

Oh crap.... literally. I just found blood for the first time. I have had 8 SFH chicks for the past 3 days. They have all been eating non medicated organic chick starter. One looks older than the others and when I had him out for socializing, he pooped a lot of blood with his stool. Didn't get a...

Also, what are some housing tips that people use to keep them comfortable in a tractor? I read somewhere that they don't tend to use roosts

Hello! I'm getting my first ever batch of 15 Cornish X in one week. Already have the brooders set up, tractor built, and am now looking for info on their care. No matter what google search I perform, I seem to have trouble finding answers to many of my questions in one source. Can anyone give me...

I thought I'd repost my pics of EE cockerels and pullets for those who are looking for sexing tips. These pics are from last summer when they were 3-4 weeks old. Pullet: Notice the pale comb with a single line of ridges (peas). Cockerel: Notice the red comb with 3 distinct rows of ridges...

I thought I'd post a timetable of growth in my SFH rooster. 2 weeks: 4 weeks: 2 months: 3 months:

These were my chicklets at 3 months old. It's very clear to see the one male and three females:

Based on my hatchers from last summer, I'd guess the tufted in the 2nd pic (and 4th?) with dark red would be a cockerel. Not sure about the 3 rd pic. The red comb has me guessing cockerel, but at 2.5 months the size would have me guessing pullet. It depends on what their growth rate has been...

Gorgeous

Thank you for your offer. I'll consider shipping charges and hit you back up if there are no males within my driving distance. Thank you, again!

Hi there, I have three SFH hens and am looking for a non-tufted rooster to mate them. I received the hens as chicks from a farm in Coos Bay, OR. One non-tufted and two tufted. I'd love to find a mature rooster who is of a more distant lineage. I believe they came from Greenfire farms a few...

The farm she came from has a couple different breeds including Legbars. Would this be her breed or would she still be mixed? There doesn't appear to be any Barred Rocks at the farm.

I was sold this bird as a week old swedish flower hen chick. Seriously doubting that it's a SFH. Can anyone guess it's breed and confirm its sex at 3.5 months old? Note it's bright yellow legs and single comb. Thank you so much for your help!

Hello everyone! I am a first time SFH owner who thought she had her 3.5 month old birds sexed, but now I'm second guessing myself immensely! I stopped assessing them from day to day and suddenly noticed that 2 of my 4 assumed cockerels were drastically different looking. Oops! Now I need some...

My thoughts exactly. Any chance of it still being a SFH?
