Helping the Swedish Flower Hen

[Bburnie1]

I am in Washington state (west coast, not DC). I have 4 hens and a roo, looking for more hatching eggs from another area to have more options with breeding.

I have two hens and a roo and I am in Nevada. My hens are not laying right now and haven't been for awhile. But if they start laying regularly then I would be interested in trading some hatching eggs.

Not sure if you know, but there is a Swedish Flower Hen group on Facebook.
Seems to be quite a lot of very knowledgeable folks there.

I have a mixed flock. I just enjoy the variety. I have one SFH who is still just a chick... 4 weeks old. But she is a total stand out in my brooder of 9. She was very weak when I got her home, super wobbly, seemed unable to walk and was falling over. I got some vitamins into her (focused on B vitamins) and she came around fairly quickly. Her feathers are starting to come in now and it is especially fun with her because I can't even begin to guess what color she might be as an adult. Every day seems to be a new surprise. Personality-wise she is most most forward and most brave chick by far. And the mix is a tame friendly bunch... Cream Legbar, Orpington, Ameraucana, Sultan, Polish, and Jersey Giant.

In any case, I am really loving this brood!
