Hello! Does anyone know what breed is my 23 weeks old hen, not laying yet. Ordered her as a rare breed from Meyer hatchery. Is it a Swedish flower ? Or a different breed?
Thank you in advance.

Looks like a Cream Legbar to me, but I could be wrong.
Comb isn't right either.Looks like a Cream Legbar to me, but I could be wrong
That's the picture, she isn't a bantam. She is a big henComb isn't right either.
For 23 weeks, she seems petite, but maybe that's just the picture. If so, a Bantam breed? I don't know if Swedish hens are or have a bantam size. From my quick research, there are crested and non crested varieties.
I got her from Meyer hatchery. They might have been bred crested to crested. She has a big crest! And yes, looks like Polish's crest...I noticed they have incorrect breeding. I also ordered Cream legbar, she has no crest. But she supposed to have one.( they told me it will grow when the chicken grows when I contacted them lol ) I ordered Welsummers, one of them has a few feathers on her foot , that's incorrect. Welsummers aren't supposed to have any feathers on their feet...Yes there are crested and non crested SFH. But you shouldn't breed crested to crested. It results in vaulted skulls. SFH should have small/slight crests, not full blown "Polish" crests.
