We're wrapping up our first official year of owning chickens and have recently made an order to add 8 new hens to our flock. Among the many different breeds, we selected one salmon faverolles as a substitution after the we placed the order because we accidentally ordering a breed that wasn't suitable for our climate. We hadn't researched this breed until afterward and we had seen mention that faverolles prefer company of other faverolles chickens.
My question is, should we get a pair? We currently have 6 ISA Browns and our spring order also includes an australorp, speckled sussex, wyandotte, barred rock, buff orpington and 2 Easter eggers.
I don't want our new hen to be lonely and I understand that they're usually low on the pecking order.
Thanks and happy new year!
