Swedish Flower Hen Thread

If neither of the parents have a crest then none of the chicks will have one. One parent needs to be crested to pass on the gene.
I think it can be difficult to tell if the chicks are crested at hatch. A couple of mine looked crested at hatch but it becomes more obvious with time. By 3 weeks you should be able to tell.

So I went to Ikea tonight and as we were walking around I was checking out the names of things in hopes of finding a few unique names for my potential Flower Hens.

Didn't have much luck, surprising enough.

Okay, sorry for that

BUT you could use their "collection" names: Benno, Billy, Svind, Ivar, etc....

For those of you with mature hens, how many eggs do you get a week?
