Swedish Flower Hen Thread

[jerrimr85]

Although the comb looks a little big, coloring and lack of wattles lead me to believe it is a hen.   SFH girls like to set the pecking order.

Here are some better pictures.

I still say pullet.

Pullet or Roo its a nice looking chick but hopefully its a pullet.

Walli your SFH are a different bloodline than Stephanie Lynn's correct?

Yes, they are.

Yes, they are.

Oh good maybe I'll get a rooster out of the 4 chicks. Now watch with my luck I say that and all 4 will be roos.

Just got a shipment of hatching eggs...one last ditch try on shipped eggs (worst luck every multiple past shipments multiple breeds, all boxed well, usps just has hated on my eggs)

But this time they got here the *fastest ever*!! No extra mystery day at my local sort center, so perhaps the egg hater is on vacation & these eggs will be 100% hatch!!

They are resting for 12 hrs now, will set at midnight along with a doz of my own (all mutts still sadly) , I've got 15 chicks hatched in the past week so the bator is working great. Fingers crossed....

I'm glad they arrived so fast!

Sending lots of excellent hatching vibes!

Does anyone have a few SFH chicks available now or shortly that you are willing to ship? I've given up on hatching eggs (I live at altitude and that does a number on them). I'm only looking for 3-5 chicks...would like crested and non-crested.

Carolynm, Google fishers farm poultry. Dale is wonderful and just sent my second batch of chicks today!

I have a bunch of chicks between new to 2+ weeks old. can't tell crested yet, that usually doesn't develop for me until 4-6 weeks.

I'd be willing to ship, if you send me a PM we can discuss details. they're currently with a good broody momma who's taking good care of them all (all 26!)
