They do fine in Texas. You have to have shade trees, and if you need a constant water source if you go on vacation. They are not as good as Mediterranean breeds but better than white rocks, speckled sussex, and buff orpingtons. You might consider buff minorcas which are great layers and...

I am still getting eggs. I am in a warm clime though; anyone in a cold climate still getting eggs?

I myself have decided to keep only sfh roos and some wellsummers [very dark egg] and leghorns [white egg]. I will save the sfh eggs for breeding and selling and eat the others.

Never count your chickens. Really chickens are just a possession. Grandma is a real Swedish Flower. Of course its ok to be upset but one must forgive a 90 year old the same way they would forgive a 3 year old.

It's July, my group is 4 months old and there are some hard culling decisions to be made...

Medium, definitely not white rocks.

Thank you! Of course all I do is feed them...

June update: Starting to look like adult SFH.

We're sending all our excess stored food northward, thanks to my amazing co-workers organizing a drive. God bless.

Good eye. Happy Mother's day all!

Magnificent plumage. Aha ha nothing but good things.

Beautiful! Irish influence in upturned nose, ruddy cheeks, leperchaun pointed mouth. Nice SFH too.
