swedish flower hen

This has been progressing since she started growing her adult feathers. Always took longer than her hatch mates which made me think she was a rooster as all my roosters took longer to feather out compared to the pullets. It’s all over her body in spots so I can tell some of this couldn’t be...

I had a single Aurucana growing up that my mum rescued from a school hatching, she laid green eggs and was best friends with our guineapig. Now I am a grown up (allegedly), I have learned that neither animal should have been a loner! Now I live in the wild mountains of NC and not in the south of...

Any tips on deciding on who to breed this March? These are my three boy swedish flower hens. I am fairly new to chicken breeding and am still learning. Also I need names for the black one and the red one

Hey all!! I’ve got two Swedish Flower Hen pullets I’m looking to sell, unfortunately they aren’t the color I was wanting in the breed and I want to keep my flock as small as I can while living in the city. Both SFHs are pullets and the Amerauacana splash is a cockerel. The two SFHs I’d prefer...

So many times breeds are made for egg color or feathers, not so much any more for temperament and friendliness. I know people are exhausted by their orphingtons being bullied. But birds that kids and teens can easily handle would be nicer than colorful 🪶 🪶 feathers that show well. A chicken...

I have heard mixed information and was hoping someone here would know. Someone told me that you should never breed a crested swedish flower chicken to another crested swedish flower. Very little info to back this up was provided. Does anyone have information about this and why I was told it...

I had a terrible experience with Bresse Farms (bressefarms.com) in Pototoc, MS. I ordered 20 Swedish Flower Hen chicks @ $9.99 each on 2/9/21 totaling $259.80 (including $60 for shipping.) I contacted them about a shipping date and Justin (owner) said they were shooting for shipment on 3/8/21...

Charlie’s favorite hen

I really like the idea of having a flock of friendly birds, and Swedish Flower Hens seem perfect for that; but, it's hard to find an official amount of eggs I should expect... Which is why I'm on this site. Because so many people here know so much more about chickens than I do. Thank you...

I just picked up my first batch of SFH eggs and I can’t wait for the first pip! Show me your flock to tide me over!

Hello all! I have a little emergency and came here for advice. This morning I went out to check in some chicks who I had put outside about a week ago. They had been doing really, really well even as of last night, but this afternoon I went to check on them again and on of my Swedish Flower...

These are my two Swedish Flower Hens and I’m wondering if anyone would have any idea as to what idea they’d look like when they got big! They’re already sweethearts and I’m so excited for when them get bigger.

Just sharing some images of Slim, who appears to be a Swedish Flower Hen Rooster Mix.

I have the opportunity to acquire a Swedish Flower Hen pullet and I’m strongly leaning toward bringing her home. But before I do, I’d love to hear from any of you who already have one or more SFHs. What do you find their personalities to be like? What about egg production? What color are the...

Greenery Ridge is a small backyard hobby farm in southern Lancaster County PA. Owned by Bonnie Gruenberg and tolerated by her husband Alex, Greenery Ridge breeds rare chickens on a small scale. *Not open to the public to keep our flock safe from disease.* We breed miniature Serama chickens...

I have quite a few cockerels available after my first spring hatch. I'm in LaGrange, GA (about an hour south of Atlanta- near GA/AL border. I have the following that are 6-7 weeks old right now. - Jersey Giant (1 black, 1 splash) $10 each - Swedish Flower Hen (1 available) $10 each -Easter...

Hello! I am a (soon to be) new chicken owner and purchased four pullets; a Swedish Flower hen, a blue laced wyandotte and two blue splash marans. I am trying to prove my family a point that I can raise chickens, so I know this website will be a great tool to help me out! If anyone has any...

Hi - We have swedish flower hens and are looking to add to our flock. We live in NV (near the CA border). The last breeder we used (I think she was in SC?) is no longer breeding chickens. Any suggestions on reputable breeders? Thanks!
