So what breed did you cross with?

I’ve been noticing this as well. I’m ok with the noise. I just wish they could be tamed. I had brown leghorns one time. They were so flighty and wild, right from being chicks, I wound up giving them away. I’d walk in to the run with treats and they would fly around wildly, like I was wielding an...

Skinny Legend..that made me laugh out loud! :D

Feisty little devils, aren’t they??:lau

That’s what I’m gonna do. Just move them farther away on the adjoining property if I can’t take the noise! Lol

No, my flock is mainly silkies. I’ve had silkies for decades now. I can’t live without those walking little fluff-balls. And a few polish but they are bantam as well. So it looks like if I got EFs they would rule the roost. I just had a thought though. I have 3 coops and could put them in my...

I have a lot of silkies and a few polish as well. Maybe I’ll just give it a go with the EFs and let a Silkie hatch some out. I’m terrified of buying hatching eggs due to diseases they can even carry in them but EFs being safe, I can hatch some and see. If they turn out to be terrors, then they...

I just read hat about the Newcastle’s as well. So the EF does seem to be tough as nails. Crappy though...I just can’t do that to my Silkies. Good to keep in mind though if u got hit with Merck’s, god forbid. Just seems like eventually all flocks are going to get it. I am getting to the point...

This is my fear. I can’t have my sweet little silkies bullied. Always have to really think when pairing a different chicken breed with silkies.

Is it only fowl from Egypt that are merely resistant I wonder?

Yikes...watching another video is making me re-think! They r cool but I really think they might stress my Silkies out too much. I love the idea of having something to make noise against predators but ...holy smokes! Lol

Omg...my Silkies are tame...like super tame! I think they would be like...WTF did you move in to our peaceful coop??😂

Jeez, I watched a video of them. Just wow!! They will definitely let you know that they are there!

lol this ought one be interesting. Part of the reason I want them is because they are loud though😄

I’m getting hatching eggs this spring from a lady in Alberta. I’m also in Canada. It’s -44 there today, and then add the wind chill factor. Her EF’s all seem to do quite well. I free range some of my birds and am hoping these guys will help keep predators away with their noiseless. Lol. Being...
