Help! I thought Faverolles are suppose to be friendly?

I have 3 rhode island reds and they all attack my 10 week old faverole, to the point she now has a bloody spot on her head. So far the faverole is the only one they pick on. Also have 10 week old Russian orloff, old blue english (a small bantam breed).

it sounds like you're doing everything right! Let them learn to associate you with treats and they should come around in no time. They're still quite young and probably just trying to figure out who is going to eat them and who isn't. They should calm down as they get older and get to know you.

Yes I have five of them and it took mine up to 6 months to come to me. But they still won’t let me touch them. But they are talking with me and running to me now so I’m giving them their time to get to know me now. I got my first 2 eggs yesterday I was so excited lol

Hurray on the eggs!!

My remaining 5-year-old SF is chatty, runs up to see if I have treats, shows no outward fear of me -- and still doesn't want to be handled. She will, very reluctantly, allow me to pick her up and carry her back to the coop when necessary.
