We have another hatch looking for new coops. These chicks are 4 days old and off to a good start.
Here are a few reasons people fall I. Love with Swedish Flower Hens.
* Every bird looks different — no two are exactly alike. Their colors and patterns can be wildly unique, which makes a flock feel really special.
* They’re known for being friendly, curious, and personable. Many become family pets as much as livestock.
* Great for families and backyard flocks because they tend to be calm and easygoing.
* They’re a rare landrace breed with a lot of history, which makes people feel like they’re helping preserve something important.
* Hardy birds that handle different climates well.
* Good free rangers and active foragers.
* Dual-purpose birds — they lay a nice amount of eggs while also growing to a decent size.
* They often stay healthier and more resilient than heavily commercialized breeds because of their broad genetics.
* Their crests, speckles, mottling, and color variety make them incredibly photogenic.
* People love watching chicks feather out because the surprise colors and patterns are half the fun.
* Roosters are often described as attentive protectors without always being overly aggressive.
* They bring a more natural, old-world homestead feel to a flock.
A lot of owners say once they get one Swedish Flower Hen, they end up wanting an entire flock because they each have so much personality and individuality. It has been so fun getting people hooked on Swedish Flower Hens. I think every flock needs at least 2. Send me a message if you are interested.
