Love seeing all these different breeds of chickens, it's fun to have variety. I want to get a few more varieties here...fun times! Keep up the great work guys!!
I picked up 2 chantecler roosters last year to mix some cold hardiness into my flock (they are a breed from Quebec). I don't breed pure bred chickens other than my silkies, but the chanteclers are nice because they also have a small comb. My original Rhode island red rooster also had some frostbite on his big comb in my first year with him. It's hard tho watch them deal with the crazy cold we sometimes get.
Cool find!! We were looking at the Icelandic land race chickens a while back because of their hardiness and diversity, but decided against them because they are such good fliers. The Swedish look like the same type of bird so you might have trouble keeping them contained without clipping their wings, can't wait to see those first eggs though....massive!!!
I would like to get chickens. But i live in a neighborhood. I can't have roosters I'm don't even think I'm supposed to have chickens. So they have to be quiet. Are hens in general pretty quiet?
If you get 2/3 bared rock hens. Aka " the checker board chicken " because they have a black and white pattern. you'll never know they are there until time to feed them. They are very good with kids, dogs and cats. Don't worry about the other animals. They can hold there own in a fight and the offender won't be coming back. Super quite and friendly. Some people give them to there kids as pets. Hope this helps and if you have any questions about chickens just send it to me and I'll try to get up with you as soon as I can. Later.
I got 7 Swedish Flower hens Breese Farms in Mississippi for 5$ per chick. Tolerated the recent 100 degree heat wave really well.
Such pretty and unique chickens! I just love how kind, gentle and respectful you guys are with your animals.
:) thank you

I'd also like to get some Icelandics as well. I didn't know about the flying. We'll have to see how the Swedish hens do
Good luck!
Is swedish flower hen the same swedish flowery 55 hen?
I don't know
very nice birds, I'd be interested
Cool! You'll have to come by and check them out sometime
Hi do you still have some Swedish Flower Hens? I love the video !!
I don't :( I rehomed them a few years ago when I had to downsize
@@TheGrassfedHomestead Oh I see
Beautiful birds. Thinking of ordering some come spring. Which hatchery did you use?
I don't recall where those came from
Meyer hatchery sells them but is constantly sold out. Cluck it all farms sell them for $10.

the cluck and squock sometimes. I wouldn't label them as pretty quiet. Muscovie ducks are very quiet

How is your mama hen and her baby?
they are both great. The chick is a pullet now and part of the main flock
Good move
it's fun to see your little wife do a video!
what happened to the hen and single chicken which she hatched? ok
I think they are with the flock already.
Pedro Tavares cool 😄
Pedro is correct - they are integrated back in with the flock
I liked my Swedish flower hens until predators got them very large eggs got to watch the roosters though in my experience
ugh...that stinks
She look like a young Yoko Ono....lol
