Does anyone here keep only (or mainly) SFH?
With all these chicks it got me thinking, that if I love them as much as I think I will, might concentrate solely on SFH. Right now I have a mix of breeds and was planning to keep a rooster from a couple of the harder to acquire breeds, though not rare. Now I'm going to see how things go with the chicks, but I think I may only keep SFH roos if they turn out to be well tempered, and then as my hens from other breeds slow down in production to sell them and eventually end up with just SFH for my flock. I wouldn't have the rainbow of egg color variation I was originally going for, but if they are as great a free-ranging, cold-hearty bird as Greenfire claims that's pretty good for me with a bonus of them being lovely to look at with their different colors.
