Good golly those birds are turning out beautifully!!!!

Had to post these two sweet Swedish Flowers. They are only a couple of days old but already are enjoying their spa treatments.

I nominate this picture, "Squee of the Day!"

Hello there! I am a new chicken and SFH owner- I brought home 3 SFH (along with 7 BLRW) tonight. They are about 4 days old (which might be accurate or not- don't know). I got one that looks like penguin with the yellow and dark brown/black, one "splash" and one darker red/brown. Pictures tomorrow but I was so excited to post this

Take care

Flo is almost 7 weeks. Is she a pullet like we're thinking/hoping? Such. A. Sweetheart.

She may be a pullet, but she is not a Swedish Flower Hen. SFHs have straight combs. Looks like she has a pea comb and green legs - probably an Easter egger.

Welcome! I'm sure you will love this breed. I've had chickens for most of my life, and have had many different breeds, but these SFH's are my favorite. I don't think that they lay quite as well as my EE's, but they are pretty close. Good luck!

I agree. It looks like my EE pullets, not a SFH.

Thanks for the welcome! Within an hour of being "ours" DH and I can tell the three we have possess a lot of personality. Can't wait to see how they mature (and if we have pullets or roos)

Here are the pictures of my SFH. I think the "grey and yellow" is a roo




See the comb already? Its not red but its apparent and its about 5 days old. This chick is also pretty dominant and pushy but curious too.
What does everyone else think?

Here is the Partridge feathered one



and here is the black and yellow chick


It has a comb too but its a little smaller than they grey and yellow.
