Chicken Breed Focus - Swedish Flower Hen

[emily88]

Wow your babies are so very cute and beautiful. I ask as I have four different bloodlines and need to keep them separated and marked so I know for sure who is who and only until they are bigger and I can use the normal leg rings. Love the mohawks. They are so much fun with all the colors.

Wow you have a lot to keep track of! I'd try zip ties. It really would be the cheapest. You could try pigeon leg bands.

My first Swedish flower. Im loving the colors and patterns popping out. I'm leaning pullet at 7 weeks but I'm no expert. What do you all think? S/he is very inquisitive, especially when I pull my camera out

@NicJames I would say pullet... I was right on 6/7. The last one decided he didn't want to lay eggs at 13 weeks! Suddenly popped up with saddle feathers.
