Swedish Flower Hens!!

[Perris]

sorry to hear about MT. How old is Peep?

Hi, i was just wondering if my hen is a swedish flower hen. So far i’ve asked a lot but i can’t seem to place what breed she is. She is a bantam and lays small white eggs.

Definitely not a D’Uccle. She has a crest. She looks like a mixed breed or more likely new breed that recently was admitted to the ABA in some colors, called the Pyncheon. She is Millie Fleur, which is a color variety (not a breed).

Hi everyone! This is my SFH, Florence. I got her as a grow out so I’m not sure how old she is. Her hatching group came from the SF Project in Sweden, but she has a broken toe (or deformed) so she was given to me as an add-on when I bought a sport white cream legbar pullet. Any idea how old she is from her comb/wattle? She is not laying yet.

I can’t really tell her size by the image but she looks like she could be about the age of my girl. Maybe between 4-6 months?

ditto. Her comb/wattle are very similar to mine that hatched end April.

is there any connection between Swedish flower hens and Iranian flower hens @kiaa ?

Yes, they are both related to the Red Jungle Fowl...

Thank you for sharing!! They are so lovely! Did you find that during molting they have been changing color a lot?

 

[Wuick]

Mine as still very young and are all still growing out of their down feathers but I have a rooster that looks almost barred instead of mottled and I have wondered if he will change.
He is the dark grey in the chick photo and you can see his almost barred coloring now. I’ll get an updated photo when I’m home. I’ve never seen anything like it in a SFH. Have you?

D'uccle, I think. SFH don't come in bantam size as far as I know.

She doesn’t have feathered legs though, very confusing
