Swedish flowers: Can you guess adult coloring from chick's?

Mine is a camera hog too! This is Mistletoe and she is the sweetest girl. Ironically, she is the only one of our new pullets that has asserted herself with the older ladies and earned their respect!

This is her 4 day old chick picture.

This is her at 18 days old.

This is her at about 3 months.

And this is her today at 18 weeks. We think she looks like a little eagle.

Yours is turning out beautiful. I am also new to the Swedish flower hen and I was finally lucky enough to get three to hatch after three batches of failures. Two are mostly yellow and white with a slight orangish color on their back, one has a dark reddish brown head with a dark black and grey body with a white tummy. I am so curious to see how they turn out to look.

Thanks for your post. I think some of mine may turn out to look like yours.

They're beautiful! I'm also really curious what they'll look like when they grow up. Mine started out dark and surprisingly turned light lavender with auburn highlights and lots of white flowers. Unfortunately we lost suddenly her last week. She was so pretty and so friendly and precocious; I'd love to get more SFH like her someday.
