:/Thanks for the information. By the way, I am a new chicken Mom. Although I have been a member since 2011, I got my first chicks a week ago: 2 salmon Faverolles, 4 Ameraucana and 4 Emerald sex links. I was hoping for more Faverolles, but the breeder had only the two left when I got there. They are about 2 weeks old. I have a couple of questions. My SF are very skittish. Do they get "friendlier" when they get older? Also, they have had pasty butt twice and I just noticed that there appears to be feathers (or down) missing on their butts below their new tail feathers. Is it the pasty butt, or might there be another reason for the bare butts?
I think I may have a male and a female. I will get some photos tomorrow.:/
