Calling all keepers of 55 Flowery Hens

[MargretaMach5]

Looking to hear from those that keep 55 Flowery Hens. We have some that are 3 weeks old and I’m absolutely enamored with them so far. Curios to see photos of your adult hens and hear stories about their personalities. Thanks I’m advance!

I had a few for a couple years but I'm now 55less.

Here’s my girl, Ivy. I have to say she’s very flighty and doesn’t want any attention. I only pet her when she’s on the roost when they go in. She’s very vocal during her egg song. I’m not sure why, all my other girls sweet and mellow.

I have five, around five months old. I'll try to send pictures.

I've had a bear of a time getting the flock up to breeding size. Two failed hatches using eggs from Texas. Just this week using eggs from Idaho, another total failure, while eggs of other breeds in the same shipment hatched fine. I custom ordered 15 hatched from Missouri, but only five arrived. Does anyone have a clue how too get these wonderful egg layers to hatch? Or is it just my bad karma?
