Welcome to the thread! I am always willing to enable a new SFH addiction. They look well loved and quite spoiled already.

Great chicken day today-- got to visit the lady I got my SFH and saw a bunch of them and other poultry She gave me advice about breeding, hatching etc. She had one baby roo and is holding him for me. Totally forgot to get a picture of him though

Let me know if you need another roo, I almost always have extras.

Right now I have 5 or 6 extras.

Thanks- I will let you know. Have a feeling one will be enough for now though!

Got my first SFH eggs last week.

Welcome to the thread and to the breed!
Very cute... but... my husband would say this breaks one of his three rules.... all living creatures here...
1) must have shoulders
2) must have a job
3) and only the humans are allowed in the house.

well, tell him chickens are people too!

as for shoulders, they have em, and a job, yup. they've got that too. (growing up to be meat or lay eggs or protect the flock)
