Swedish Flower Hen Thread

[cathiesue]

Hi all it has been a while since I have been on busy with school, raising kids, and taking care of my babies. I am taking a road trip from Pensacola FL to Springfield Missouri, and dropping off Swedish Flowers to anyone who wants to buy some. I am selling a trio for $140.00 flat, no shipping and handling no boxes, no worrying about them overheating..

Here is the sale page.

And here is some pictures of my babies. There is a random duck in some of the pictures who believes he is part of the flock no matter what we tell him!

Hi Pensacola!
I just lost 8 sf week old babies to a predator. Your offer has really perked me up. I can definitely get to Springfield.
Would you have just one roo for sale? i have 3 pretty birds about 4 month old so don't need any pullets right now. please let me know what you think. Thanks..

Cathiesue,

Yes I will sell just a roo, I just don't want anyone asking for 4 hens and no roo's. You can choose crested or uncrested and then I will take pictures of some that meet what you want. You choose the one and then I will band him as yours soon as the Paypal payment goes though. I will be traveling on Aug. 6th or 7th. From the great state of Florida to the Great state of Missouri. Hope that helps..

CasieD - Good luck on you hatch. Are these the first SFH eggs you are incubating? I'm up in northwestern WI and looking for an unrelated roo, got 8 chicks in Feb. from A&J Farm, six ended up as roos and all the chicks have the same father so hoping to find something unrelated to us with my two SFH hens. Where are you located in central WI?

You can drive down to Missouri and pick some up But even if they have the same pattern their chicks might look completely different. I have some young ones that look nothing like the ones I started off with. Their genetics are more diversified than that of most chickens.

None of the parents look anything like these two pretties . I was actually stunned at how different they are. Plus my babies have changed their colors dramatically since I bought them as juveniles last year. Especially the ones that initially showed a lot of blue coloring. I hope this helps some.

That's great. I'll pm with details. Appreciate it. And have a safe drive. I am very curious about how you will do it? Ha Ha.

Hi! Yes these are my first SFH eggs. I bought hatching eggs on ebay (seller chickeneggs123 in PA). I'm just west of Wausau. Once mine hatch and I see what I've got maybe we can work out a swap or something!

CasieD- I'm near Hayward. A swap would be great! I'll look forward to seeing how your hatch goes. Good luck!

I have two free roo's in Oregon if anyone wants them. They were born in December and came from Greenfire. Both are Red Mille fleur-one is blue patterned and one is splash patterned. Nice comb and legs on both. Local pickup only.

Wish i could. I'm finally getting a roo for my pretty birds soon. Cant' wait. I just looked at your web page you have some beautiful birds. I have seen very few crested so they make me giggle a bit. Fancy!

This one just sprouted a mohawk!

I would totally take one, but I'm in OK. Bit too far to drive!
