Your call Pyxis! I will tell you that I LOVE my faverolles... Coho is by far my sweetest, cuddly chicken... and we all know Derp! I wouldn't trade them for anything. But I will never get any more unless I can build a separate run for them. They are just bullied far too much, even by my other docile hens. Just remember that all birds are individuals. You might get a pullet that is fiery and sticks up for herself, or you might get the more typical meek faverolles that allows herself to be bullied, stressed, etc. Make sure you are prepared to deal with it if your faveroelles needs extra TLC! Mine definitely do.

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard.... -

but I'm thinking about it. How do you think she'd do in a flock? I mostly have breeds known for docility on purpose. My breeds are: Red Star, cochin, polish, silkie, OEGB, easter egger, light brahma, buff orpington, and leghorn. Before every thinks I have a million chickens, I have only one of each with three exceptions! They're all very gentle, sweet birds. No one is really aggressive. Oh, and I have ducks. What do you think? Should I add one?
