Hi, I´m not based in the U.S., but as far as I understand they´re referring to an imported German line of sfh, compared to the lines that go back to imported Swedish ones.

Hi! I wouldn´t give up on Brownie just yet. She doesn´t look typical sfh, but I´ve had a few darker ones like that, and once in a while I´ll get a bird that gets his flowering very late. I almost gave up on a pretty black and white boy once because he looked like he wouldn´t get any flowering...

Hello! I have 2 pens with one black-based-roo each, and one larger pen with a blue-based roo and a snoleopard roo. LisaLouHoo already sent you the chart, which is very good to go by. I find the splash roos very pretty, and used to have one. The problem was that I was getting a lot of almost...

Thank-you for the congratulations, and thank-you for the answers. I can´t wait to see if I get any crested. It´s already very exciting to see what colors they turn out to be, with a few crested in my flock it will add another dimension of surprise.

So sorry, but good luck on your further hatching efforts. Thanks for the compliment. It´s day 23 on the SFH-eggs I imported from Sweden. 16 out of 30 have hatched. 4 more eggs are still in the bator, and I saw movement in 1, so maybe I´ll still get a couple more. It´s more than I expected for...

I´ve also had completely different experiences with shipped eggs, from 0 hatch to around 80%. I also use the same humidity as you, seems to me to work best, too.

Good luck! I´´m really excited- got 30 SFH hatching eggs directly from Sweden. Candled them 3 days ago (day 8) and 24 were developing! Hoping for one good-looking roo and at least 3 girls. The breeder also has crested, which I don´t have yet, so would be really happy about a couple of crested...

Hi! I´m always getting surprises on the color my chicks turn out to be. I´ve learned it´s a good idea to hang on to the young ones awhile, because you just don´t know how they´ll turn out. Originally I wanted to sell this young guy, who now looks like he might become my most handsome roo (he is...

I´ve got my first broody of the season!

I consider mine dual-purpose.

And since we had a warm spell in December and my girls decided to lay again for awhile, I put some eggs in the bator and got these babies. Got a better hatch rate this time (the last few times I used the dry-incubation method and it didn´t work out too well for me. This time I had them at 30-40%...

Here´s an update on these 4 chicks I hatched in November: Now they´re 2 1/2 months old: One blue-based boy: One red boy: One black-based boy: And one snoleopard-looking pullet: Definitely going to keep the pullet. Thinking of keeping one of the boys; tending towards the blue one. Not...

Yes, please give us an update on Nero and any pretty sons or daughters he might have...

Lovely chicks, looks like you´ll have a lot of variety in your flock. Congratulations! Here are my latest little ones. Probably the last ones until Spring, because my girls have stopped laying for now. Sorry about the poor quality, I´ll never earn my keep through photography:

Hello again, never wanted to start all this trouble, but I thought it was important to question his "qualifications" as a breeding sfh roo. A lot of people out here have Bielefelder, and to be honest, when I first saw your pic, I thought he looked like a mix between a Bielefelder and a sfh. I...

Thank-you! Very beautiful birds. Don´t want to bring in negative vibes, but I´m not sure the roo looks like sfh to me, especially looking at the barring on his saddle feathers and neck. Are you sure he was sold to you as a sfh? I may be wrong- would be interested to know if anyone else has an...

Just wanted to share some pics of the sfh I´ve decided to keep out of this year´s hatches I love this boy. He´s getting such a broad chest, is turning out beautiful, and is a real sweetheart, too. Behind him and to the left are two of his younger sisters. This is going to be a hard...

The roo part is definitely right. I think only time will tell if he´s a sfh. Some of mine do look like that as chicks. Some get their flowering later than others, especially the cockerels it seems to me. How old is he?

Hello, I´m going to add to the confusion and disagree, Still looks like a pullet to me. I would expect the comb and wattles to be redder on a roo, and the comb spikes to be plumper, and not so fine-toothed. On a roo I would also expect the red feathers to be darker, more mahogany-like (see...

Looks like a girl to me, too, but you´ll know for certain in a couple weeks. The red on the shoulders of the roos is usually darker.
