[Perris]

Is it normal for the leg color to differ?

Yes. Mine have had yellow, white, willow and mottled shanks and toes.

Beautiful! Where did you get them? I'm searching all over the internet and have only seen them on Meyers and My Pet Chickens.

Thank you! They have become some of my favorite birds in a short time. I got them at a local farm (Loudounberry) that was selling pullets. I’ve debated so many times going back for more. But… need no more chickens. They have 6 left for anyone local to northern VA.

Too bad I don't live closer! I'd love to find some locally. Chicks or pullets. I've read wonderful things about them and I think they'd be a perfect fit with my flock. Will keep looking. I know what you mean about not needing more chickens!

 

[No Fly Hens]

We bought 2 Swedish Flower Hens and were told they may be laying, or soon would be. They were laying right away. We were told they were about 1 year old. They had a tiny comb and tiny wattles. the comb and the wattles have gotten bigger, when does this happen, I am trying to pin point their age.
