I would agree with them that it's a rooster with that bigger comb. Is it the same age as the one behind it in the photo?

Chickens can get roundworms from eating earthworms, so maybe your chickens are smart.

My faverolle lay smaller eggs than other breeds, so don't expect to much out of them. :)

They are adorable under-achievers, but definitely aren't for every flock. Congratulations on the egg.

Mine both eventually found a buddy but it took a while. My two didn't hang out in the same part of my shed so they never actually met before I lost the older one in the spring. I don't know if yours would hang out with them or not. Both of mine didn't seem too unhappy being alone, especially...

My other faverolle had a curled toes on one foot, so they do seem to have a toe thing. Shoes is a good idea.:)

I make sure to sand all my roosts and I've never seen bumblefoot, just lucky maybe. My current faverolle got severe frostbite on her toes last winter and lost a few, her name is no toes now. She roosted in front of the only hole in the tin, and was the only one that got frostbite. This year the...

Mine are, they do end up on the bottom of the pecking order in a mixed flock, mine come to me for extra treats, and I'm in Wisconsin, so brutal winters, I actually have found almost every breed is cold hardy.

Your temperatures are mild compared to here in Wisconsin, mine does fine as well as all my chickens, I have an east facing door that never closes, don't shut up your coop too tight as good ventilation is more important than trying to heat up your coop, moisture build up causes frostbite and...

Very pretty, nice mix.
