I am second guessing this little cockerel. He doesn't look like a SFH. His leg color looks very dark and his feather patterns and coloring don't look like the flowers that I've seen and raised. :oops:
My guess would be that they are both pullets. I have some little roos about that age that would fit in nicely with your two. I can ship. Not sure where you live??
I currently have lots of Swedish Flower Hen hatching eggs and can ship. I'm in Michigan.

They can definitely fly. They also like to roost up high if they get a chance. Lovely, friendly breed that is a lot of fun to raise because they change daily as they grow out and no two are alike!
That's a pretty blue-based chick. I'll even guess a pullet because of her crouched stance. I guess I have a 50/50 chance. Your chick is kind of on the dark side of blue, so I think she might look like my Rosemary.
Yes, they are hard to sex until later. Sometimes a boy will be a "stand out" roo and you can tell at 2 weeks approx. I'm not sure what age you're looking at, but they usually start getting their flowers (white mottling) at around 2 weeks old. The boys start first!!! So if you want a girl, don't...
They are really pretty!! They look like the popular snoleopard color. You probably have to give it more time. How old are they? Sometimes it takes up to 6 weeks to tell sex for sure. I do see pink combs. All that white is a good thing. It means they will have awesome flowering!
She looks like a crested splash girl. This might be a perfect example of crested-to-crested breeding which is a no-no. When this happens, the resulting offspring can have a super poofy crest that hampers their ability to free range or see. And, yes, it can create a vaulted skull that leaves them...
Everything you're doing sounds really good, but you mentioned making adjustments to your humidity. I have hatched a lot of SFH and know a lot of breeders as well, Flowers really do best with a totally dry hatch. Meaning NO water until lockdown. And if you delay lockdown to day 19, that's even...
Blue snoleopard at the bottom pic. Love the black-based rooster. The blue-based rooster is pretty cool, too. Heck, they are all unique and beautiful!!!

That being said, you just have to find the right buyer. When you (and if) you add shipping it raises the buyers price significantly. Sometimes you can't even giveaway roosters...whatever their breed. The snoleopard coloring is still a hot item, so I would think you could sell him. I...
