Well today was a good day for me! I brought a Swedish Flower into the world today from an egg Big Jim handed me when I went to get my older birds from him! It hatched and is doing great!




Here are the 8 I got from Lazy Q aka Big Jim, he also gave me about 2 dozen Swedish eggs!

My thoughts exactly Bulldogma! LOL!! The first day I moved the birds, no eggs! But today we have one! We've been checking every 1/2 hour! Wondering just how long the banty will stay broody?

Oh! Not AandJ Farms? Sorry! They're in northern Kentucky, too. Can't remember why I thought it was you, KYTinpusher. What breed is that roo on your avitar? Handsome guy!

No problem, I just want credit to go to the proper breeder. I believe A and J Farms is daisyjack. I remember that she had some beautiful SFH, but I haven't seen her on here in a while. The roo in my avatar is an OE. His name is Joseph, as in coat of many colors. He is quite stunning out in the sun where he is very iridescent.

Hey KYTinpusher! I believe I have one of yours. What do you think?




I took this photo a couple of weeks ago, and it is even prettier now. Don't know sex as of yet. No crowing!

Very pretty! I don't know if that is one of mine either. Did you get it from someone who got eggs from me? How old is it?

Thank you!
I got it from Chiqita and I think she said it was from your eggs she got from the paypal swap thread. It is around 11 weeks old.

Quote: I hope I have one in the brooder that feathers out like that! (Otherwise, I'm going to have to put MORE eggs in the bator!

) I never cease to be amazed at the beautiful colors and patterns on the SFH. It is always a surprise. The crested roos can be very sneaky, but it doesn't look like the crest is spiky, so I would guess pullet.
