Your females are what I was looking to get. Oh well, when you want to be guaranteed the best you should go through a breeder I guess. I do like this hen and hopefully she will lighten up more as she ages.
There are a couple of hatcheries that sell really off colored pullets. I doubt she will lighten much. But if she has a nice temperment and lays well then enjoy her.
Yep, I'm not getting rid of her she's a real sweetie. Right now I've got her and another pullet a BCM together in a yard next to the big girls. I'll be integrating them in another month or so but I suspect these two girls will probably remain at the bottom of the pecking order they're both so gentle/shy.
I posted in another thread that I was looking to get a docile breed rooster next year along with a few more hens. I've been through many, many standard size roosters over the years and have got rid of all but one bantam because they were either too aggressive to me or to the hens. I'd given up on having another large rooster because of this situation but now that's it been about 4 years I'm ready to try it again. Sooooo, what kind of temperment do the faverolle roosters have "in general"?
