Are Faverolles Known Escape Artists?

[PineBurrowPeeps]

I have two 9 week old Faverolle pullets that are ALWAYS every single day getting out of their run and free ranging on their own. And they are a pain to put back at night as they hate being caught.
Now my goat breeder friend has a lone Salmon Faverolle hen that is always out, like my two girls.
My husband and I just put two and two together and figured out that both of us have houdini SF's.
My husband is always cussing them out.

Yesterday he's trying to corral them back into the run and suddenly turns to me and says "Are any of those new chicks in the house these things?!"

"Honey..... all of them are..." (29 of them)

You should have seen the look on his face, it was priceless. He was thinking

and I was thinking

So he has pleaded with me to come here and ask if anyone else has escaping faverolles or if it's just a coincidence...

Mine stay in a 3' poultry fence but have one girl that likes to squeeze under and get out. I leave her out until she starts pacing to get back in. She never learns her lesson.
Mine are not likely to fly over but that one will see a bug amble by and go frantic over it. My birds also have plenty of grass in their pen and I keep boards down to flip over for bugs every day. They are over a year old except one that is 7 months and she is the least likely to get out.
The girls like the bantam Cochin roo in with them.

Mine always stayed put. They loved to get out, but I guess they never figured out how to get over the fence. Started birds were in 4' wire and the adults were in 5' wire. Now I did hatch two mysterious "Birchin Fverolles" by mistake when I set some Salmon Faverolle eggs. The pen next to them had Black, Birchin, and Black Copper Marans in it so go figure. I still am not sure how it happened. I'm sure the Marans rooster didn't hop the fence or I would have had two bloodied roosters and more than two crosses. So I guess I had a sneaky little girl...but she only did it the one time.

They are really good flyers and mine were always the ones highest in the coop. Sometimes on the top cross boards. They also liked to free range but they never did fly over my 6 foot fence. I would let they out often and they were usually ok to get back in when the time came.

My birds always stay put as well. No escape artists here, but you know what they say.........the grass is greener!
