Which hen is the best?

[M To The Maxx]

My mom said if I get straight A's on my report card for the first quarter I can get one more hen. I was thinking of 3 breeds and only these breeds. Mille Fleur D'uccle, Salmon Faverolle or Silkie. Which do you think is the best? By the way I am pretty confident about getting straight A's.

I've never owned a silkie.

But out of those three, Salmon Faverolle.

Anybody else?

I vote for Salmon Faverolle or Mille Fleur D'Uccle

 

[M To The Maxx]

Keep them coming.

Umm Polish

, ok, ok for some reason that wasn't one of the "options", sigh. I think my mille fleur roos are nice but I would get the salmon favorelles too because I have wanted some for a while but now have no more room for a new breed.

salmon Faverolle or Mille Fleur but they are kind of high strong birds or go with Japanese they are perfect pets

I had the M.F. d'uccle....they are very high strung. I got rid of the, after a year to a woman who absolutly loves them So, it's all in what you like. I prefer the silkie out of you choices.

What's not to love?

*edited to ad, my silkies are NOT great layers.....my d'uccles were pretty consistent with a nice size bantam egg. Silkies are have a nice egg, but not real consistent. they are great setters, good moms and pretty quiet birds though.

If you get straight A's, I will send you either Salmon Faverolle, Silkie or Serama eggs, you choose
