Hi!
New chicken momma-to-be here! Me, my husband and 2.5 year old son finally found our perfect house with enough room to add some birds! So, our first ever 8 chicks will be here in April. I fell in love with the descriptions of Faverolles, so we have 4 of those on the way and 4 Australorps also, based on their personality and egg production. I've heard Faverolles get picked on, hoping the Australorps will go easier on them than some others...Excited to start this new adventure but I'm sure I'll have a million questions!!

They are supposed to be great winter layers, which was important to us with our cold WI winters, but the description of their personalities sold me on them. Silly, very busy doing everything they do, and even slightly clumsy, but super sweet and great with kids. They sound like the chicken version of me😂 My son is animal obsessed, so I'm looking forward to seeing him interact with them. I know he's still pretty young to be too involved, but I think he'll still love it!

Hi! I’ve never heard of Faverolles. I will have to go and do some research. I have two toddlers and they are at that stage where they want to help feed the birds. We are hatching some chicks of our own and I will be letting them hold the chicks and get used to them. Before they were too young but this year they’re learning more and more.
