Faverolles and silkies

They should be fine @ 10sqft/bird. I've never messed with Silkies - people say they're docile. People say the same thing about Salmon Faverolles - my rooster was mean as hell...
 
I didn't like them personally. I tried them because I wanted to work on a heritage breed. I wound up giving up on them and gifted them to a relative who wanted to refresh their barnyard mix. They really liked them (hen since lost to free range predator, still has the rooster), so it's a six of one, half a dozen of the other perspective. I'd take a barred rock any day of the week over them...
