Helping the Swedish Flower Hen

[ki4got]

Hi everyone! I know I'm piggy-backing on an old thread, but wanted to add my little flock. A girl in Dover, PA was selling SFH from craigslist and I got five. She said these were 2nd generation from her Greenfire SFHs. I lost them soon after a very strange fox incident. I still don't know how that happened.

After super-fortifying my bigger coop...

I got two more SFH in June and 2 SFX crossed with Blue/splash Marans. They are the most friendly, personable chickens! I love them! I can't wait to see the eggs. I only have a retired (7 year old) silkie mutt roo and don't want any crosses from him, so I hope to get a roo from her next year! I'll have to post some pics.

you might hop on the sfh thread... https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/375288/swedish-flower-hen-thread

I would be interested in helping. We are trying to get a flock started, but out of four batches of eggs from various parts of the country, only 12 eggs hatched, 10 were roos and one of the females died. We will be looking for more pullets at the Eastern Poultry Congress in January (Springfield, MA). I can help with translating from Swedish to English, if needed.
