Speckled Sussex or Salmon Faverolle

[TillinWithMyPeeps]

Which breed would you recommend? I am looking for one that is very friendly, and has a relatively good egg laying capacity.

I have it narrowed down to these 2 breeds, and I am going to pick one of them.

Also, how do you feel about Easter Eggers? Do they meet these criteria?

I've never had any Faverolle's, but I like my SS a lot.

I haven't had any SS (getting some very soon, though), but I do have a bantam SF roo...by far the sweetest chicken I've ever owned, hands down. The EEs I've had are friendly, but on their own terms.

Go for all three.

I've never had faverolles, but they are attractive birds and I've heard good things about them.

I love my SS. They are inquisitive, friendly, attractive girls. Mine are just starting to lay, so I can't give a good report on laying ability yet.

I also like my bantam ameraucanas a lot. I'm kind of sorry I don't have any LF ameraucanas or EEs.

Get em all!

Both...... did that help any?

Maybe this will help a little,

OK, I think I will have to get all 3. You guys are the biggest bunch of enablers!

Any other input is appreciated.

Favs are great little birds!

 

[TillinWithMyPeeps]

Do any of the birds that I listed actually like to be held?

I have some Favs I hatched from eggs from Bantyman, I have standard and Bantam, they are both very sweet. My little Bantam , Sweet Pea, is very curious and runs to me when I am in the coop.
