Beautiful birds but not very practical, April 14, 2009
Reviewer: Dee from CO
At one time I kept nine S.F. Such beautiful hens and roosters! However not very good layers and they did not do well with the winter snow on the feathered legs. I felt the hens did not tolerate the rooster very well. The rooster was very mean most of the time. The eggs were small and cream colored. The hens were docile and would be good with children. I believe they died off within two years due to the cold Colorado winters. They were more for show and enjoyment. Was this review helpful to you? Yes | No
