New to Backyard Chickens Swedish Flower Hen Question

Beautiful...can't wait for my SFH chicks to hatch.

I have 11 in an incubator and 5 under a broody hen. I am trying the dry incubation method for this breed. I have never used this method. In my last hatch of olive egger chicks, I had 5 die in the very last day or so. I am suspicious that I had the humidity too high and the air sac was too small

Hi and welcome to BYC I know little about SFHs, but @cree57i breeds them. Caos, great looking birds...

I'm learning more every day on BYC. I have never heard of Snow Leopard chickens ????
Oh my.

I have lots of snoleopard Swedish Flower Hens. Brief SFH genetics lesson- Sfh's are a blue, black, splash based breed. The snoleopard variation is when the normal mahogany is muted to a pale yellow color. It is a recessive trait and can occur in both the blue based and black based birds.
