Hi all! Last night I put in an order for four chicks from My Pet Chicken who will be arriving in June. It's been forever since I ordered chicks, and last did it back in 2010 from MPC. (I still have one from that batch left, a beloved EE hen who's most definitely a lap-chicken.)

I can't wait for them to arrive and keep looking up pics on the internet instead of working :rolleyes: and seem to have exhausted all the threads on these breeds from MPC that I can find. So I thought I'd put out a call for pictures and descriptions from other folks who may have have ordered these from MPC:

Swedish flower hens
Black Sumatras
Snowy easter eggers
Partridge olive eggers

I realize the last two aren't actual breeds but mixes, and am super curious what they'll look like. Anybody got em? I'm also wondering how many MPC flowers have crests, and if their sumatras consistently have black skin.

Thanks in advance! I'll be waiting breathlessly.
 
I just came across this post, I got a swedish flower jen from MPC and she does have a Crest. In my opinion she is my least favorite bird/breed I have ordered from there. And maybe it is just her but from day 1 she was always a skittish unfriendly bird. I thought she was going to be a roo with the personality and that do growing in. On the plus side she is a good forager, quick to avoid predators, quiet compared to my other girls and lays very nice large brown eggs. That being said based off my experience I will pass on this breed in the future but I am sure it has more to do with the individual bird rather than the breed. This is the best pic I could find of her right now, these are all from MPC (SFH next to Easter egger.) If you would like a better one I could get one for you tomorrow.
