Salmon Faverolle chick is quite talkative?

[jayclev]

I have 6 other chicks (RIR, Silkie, Sussex, BR, White Leghorn, Australorp), I bought from my local feed store last week and I just picked up another chick, this time a Salmon Faverolle. I have 1 from each breed. The lady at the store suggested I buy 2, but since I'm new at this, I wanted to try raising a single chick from many different breeds. So far, they all are doing great, but my son has pointed out that since picking up the single Samon Faverolle about 3 days ago, it is very loud and chirps constantly!

Is this normal or do I was the lady right and I need to find another of the same breed for it?

I have 2 salmon faverolles, and neither has been noticeably louder than the other chicks. Is your salmon younger than the others? Could be she's intimidated or possibly not warm enough?

The breed isn't the issue, it's that you added a single chick to a group, so it may be feeling a little excluded. How old is the Faverolle and how old are the other chicks?

I think you guessed it - she was probably just a bit cold this whole time. I put a smaller bulb in the heat lamp which was fine for the others, but I think it wasn't quite enough for her. I just got a better heat source today and she's much quieter now.

She's also a week younger, but so was the Sussex.

I am in need of a salmon Faverolles chick to paint with one I have. Where did you get this one? Would you like to sell to me? email me at [email protected]. Thanks
