“Ordered a Swedish flower hen and unfortunately she turned out to be a rooster. Very disappointing because he was such a cute and friendly chick. I suspected he was a boy but hoped I was wrong bc he was super friendly like a hen. Always came over and jumped on my lap to be petted. Loved to be held and never pecked me. Wasn‚Äôt aggressive at all but at 4 months I heard the crow and knew my little Fannie was a Freddy. Fortunately, I was able to find him a nice home where he‚Äôll have nearly 2 acres to roam. I‚Äôd give it 5 stars if it was a hen bc he was super sweet and I can only imagine how sweet the hens must be. Can‚Äôt complain bc it‚Äôs the first time in 4 orders from MPC that I ended up with a rooster.”
“Our girls Freya and Torchic are so cool. SUPER friendly (not a shy bone in either of their bodies), always the first to run over and hop right onto your arm, lap, or shoulder, and absolutely STUNNING! So much personality packed into these little ladies. We'll be adding several more next year for sure!”
“My little chick did not survive. I guess it happens but I was offered the chance to order another one so I hope to do so in the future because I‚Äôd really like a swedish”
“I have 3 of these gorgeous chickens and they are just amazing. My rooster is a perfect gentleman and protects his flock. My hens are dependable layers of eggs that are almost rose gold colored. Each one of these birds are unique and you never know what you are going to get regarding color but the colors I got are stunning. They are cold hardy and tolerate temperature changes well.”
“Our Swedish Flower Hen, Trillium, was unable to stand properly when she first came in, a little research showed that she had curled toes. Some scotch tape and cardboard did the trick though, and she was actually running about with the others in a little while! It was great. She grew nicely and when we let her and her siblings out for their evening ‚ÄòOut Time‚Äô she excelled in grasshopper catching. She is now about one year old and lays fairly well, she also went broody her second summer (unfortunately for her there was no rooster in the house at the time!) Trillium runs to us whenever we hold out our arms and happily wiggles her head up and over our shoulders. She is in constant competition with Sunshine, a mixed breed hen of the same age. Sunshine has to be sneaky instead of feisty- she would stand no chance in a fight with Trillium! All in all, Trillium is a great addition to our flock.”
“I bought 3 swedish flower hens, who are now 14 weeks old, from MPC and they are seriously the sweetest things ever! I have four easter egger hens from a farm near me and these swedish girls are so much more social, curious, and friendly than my EE's. These girls run to me constantly (with or without a treat in hand) and they will climb into my lap and hunker down for a nap. I love these chicks so much!!!”
“OK! I have had a lot of chickens but never one as friendly and curious as her. Selma comes when called and jumps on my lap. She loves to be gently held. LOVE this hen!”
“Wow, this is the sweetest little chicken we've ever had!! She is a few weeks old at this point and a tad smaller and lighter than her standard counterparts that we ordered with her but so pleased. The kids all love her and she hops up on our arm and nestles right in for a nap. She doesn't not want to leave our hand when we put her back and it's so funny. Thank you!”
