Hi there! I've never bought eggs before, but I love these birds... I did research them a while back, but I have a few questions maybe you can refresh me....
Have you ever shipped to Washington state? Yes
Are these birds winter layers, or do they take a break during the short days? Mine lay during the winter but not as much as the rest of the year, but my winters are not as cold as yours.
Are they good or occasional broodies or should I have a 'bator handy for hatching? They are very good broodies and Moms!
What are their temperaments like? - I have Salmon Faverolles, very docile and shy birds.... I wouldn't keep them together in confinement (separated by a fence), but when I let everyone out to free range, can they get along? I don't find them shy but very curious and friendly. Mine come running when they see me, They will jump up 3 feet in the air to get treats too. Roosters only get along if they were raised together.
Thank you
