What are these weirdos doing???

[Weeg]

Yes. Male specific colouring

Awww, I forgot about that in salmon faverolles. Thanks for reminding me.

 

[FortFusterCluck]

Not their first field trip outside a little over three weeks old and they all just want to sit on my lap. Now I am NOT complaining - but are they scared or something?

The weather is nice, they are familiar with the location, I am stumped!View attachment 3110698View attachment 3110704

My babes use me as their favorite perch. I understand your feeling.

I have heard that salmon faverolles are some of the gentlest roosters in case you end up keeping him. I would get a hen in the future if you can, my salmon faverolle hen is my favorite.

Best of luck!

Thanks! They are so clever and inquisitive - I giggle at them constantly. I will be trying again for a hen and I probably will attempt to keep two Roos (one of the SF and the FBCM since it seems he’s a boy!).
I heard that if they’ve grown up together they might be less aggressive with each other???

Growing up together will certainly go better than if you introduced them later on. I've never had ones that same age grow up together, but that would be great. From my experience roo interactions have a lot to do with spacing and personality. My friend who has a SF rooster says he always just "stands down", so that arrangement might work perfectly.

There is a thesis on this place about roo interactions if you ever get a chance to peruse

Thanks so much!!! I’ll have to look it up.

I hope mine do as they get older!

My 4 are older, almost 1 years old here and they still do that. They are sunbathing here after days of rain and being stuck in their run
