Swedish Flower Hen Thread

[ChickNmamma]

Well guys here is the crested pullet I decided on to take to the fair and she will be judged tonight ( judge knows and raises a small trio of Swedish Flower Hens what are the chances of that??) I couldnt have been happier while talking to the judge at check in yesterday! AND the SFH I took over there CAN be rewarded because I classified them in a EXTREMLY RARE BREED CLASS as judge told me I Should!! So we shall see what happens! Wish me luck this will be the first SFHs in show!

Good Luck, very nice looking bird. Great the judge could tell you where to enter her. Let us know how it goes!

Well all! I just got done showing and the judging is over now! We are waiting to see our scores and what was won! I am very PROUD and EXCITED to say the judge is someone who is on here but would not tell me their name at ALL!

And they are from out of state so I was wrong when I thought that he was from here! But during show he asks everyone questions about their animals and when he got to me I started talking about how I was trying to help the breed in many ways and he said "you're that guy? I saw the things you have been doing and working on and I am proud to meet you and good luck with the job you are doing!" This made me so happy and I was so excited he recognized me for what Ive done so far, not even done alot just the little I have done thus far!

BUT I am very excited to be the first to get this breed into a show and you should have seen the people stopping and staring at them and of course I was standing by to answer all questions and help get this breed out there! But one older gentleman spoke with me this evening and he said "you better not get it out there too much because it may loose what is so special to you and your friends!" I never thought about it that way but still will be getting it to more shows and showing it off!

Gotta go ya'll judges are coming back out! Ill post awards and things tomorrow! My mother forgot her camera

So ill get pics of us in my show uniform at the house tomorrow!

Ps on my phone so I can keep you guys up to date Thanks again ya'll I really appreciate all the support you have given me through this process!

I am glad you got to talk to the judge, and I agree - you are doing a great job getting them out there to the public.

However, I don't agree with the gentleman in the bold quotes. What is special about this bird will still be special even if they are in everybodys back yard, their special qualities aren't in their rarity. They are beautiful birds, they are good natured (at least so far with mine), they have really neat wild coloring on their feathers and some have cute hats. That won't go away.

Keep up the GOOD WORK!

And CONGRATS

at Best in Show!
