I'm not too sure if this post belongs here, so please forgive me if it doesn't. I posted awhile ago with questions on chicken breed dynamics on the "Breeds, Genetics, Showings" thread and didn't get any responses. Here are my questions:
1. I think I'd like faverolles, but read that they are so docile they tend to be picked on in mixed flocks. Is that true?
2. If so, would having bantams (like ameraucanas and/or brahmas) instead of LFs lessen the chance of the LF faverolles being bullied?
3. Are the personalities and egglaying habits of bantams the same as their LF counterparts?
4. Are faverolles heat hardy? We have more hot, humid days than cold ones here in central TX.
Sorry for all the questions and TIA!
