While my Faverolles (8 weeks) are sweet chickens, they don't want to leave the coop! The Dels & Polish jump right out as soon as the door is open and explore all around their house. The Faves look out, one might boldly stroll out - only to fly back in a moments later. If they aren't eating in the coop, or strolling in the coop, they are napping in the coop. They are NOT interested in foraging. When I bring in a handful of earthworms, they have little to no interest in eating things that are not presented to them in a feeder. And the Polish chicks wolf down the worms before I know what happened.
Are Faves just like that? Is that properly called a less active breed?
Cheers,
Michelle
