Actually, I am pretty happy with where I am now. With the addition of the 3 black hens I now have all of the colors. I still have a lot of red/white hens (about 15), which I like, but initially it was about all I had. I have quite a few blue based hens as well, but some are mixed with red or...

Didn't mean to hijack your thread. Sorry! The information has been great though. I definitely want to keep the all of the colors, its just been frustrating to have a pen full of almost identical chickens. Good luck on your project.

Thanks! I am excited about the hens! I've only had them for about a month. There are two that are a year old, and one young pullet about 4 months old. After reading your previous information on splash genetics I plan on abandoning the red hen pairings, and I will give one of these hens to the...

This information on "splash" genes is really interesting, and helpful. Thanks so much! Its starting to make more sense. I understand now why its been so difficult for me to get anything but splash, or red/white. If they are just all splash, but some have red that is not masked by the blue gene...

I do have some new hens that are really dark. I have only had these three about a month so haven't hatched any from them yet. I am really excited about these hens as I have had a difficult time getting blacks. I do have a few dark ones from my flock, but would like to improve the mottling. This...

I didn't see your previous post before I wrote this. After reading your previous posts I was a little puzzled myself. I have not been keeping any red/white roosters, but I did keep one this past season because he was so different than any others that I had had previously. Most of them start out...

I understand completely! Those are the first Swedish Flower photos that I saw as well! Imagine my disappointment when out of my dozen eggs I hatched 7 chicks, 4 roosters (3 red/white and one red/gold), and 3 pullets (2 splash and one red/white). I kept the 3 pullets, a red/white rooster and the...

I normally wouldn't put red/white over red/white because most SFH folks want color, but I definitely could. I have some small breeder pens that I can set up any way that I need to. I would just need to know how many eggs that you're looking for, and when you want them. I would need about 3 weeks...

Its been awhile since I've been on this thread. Looks like your making good progress. I ended up getting a good deal on some Swedish Flower Hens and so went that way. I applaud your efforts, I just didn't have the space to do your project justice. I noticed that at one point it was said that...

I am trying to resist! I don't know what my wife would do if I got ANOTHER project! I just got some Swedish Flower Hen eggs last month, and now have seven little guys that will need their own pen. I'm trying to thin out my Ameraucana/EE pens for more space. I was working with a Splash...

The eggs sound so tempting!! I have a full incubator at the moment but they should hatch out on March 12th. I love the look of the Alohas. Is anyone breeding Alohas in the Southeast?

I came across this thread while reading up on Swedish Flower Hens. I love the colors! Seems WAY complicated, but really fun! I actually got SFH eggs before coming across this, and 14 of 15 eggs are developing! Excited to see what comes of this...I think I'm addicted!
