I tried that with my most recent hatching (can you believe I tried again??) - three roosters out of three hatching eggs. They did OK until they saw the hens in the run. Then the mellow one got trounced. Ugh.

I've been told they may, but that's not really my area of knowledge. 😁

Hi there... I apologize, I mistated, it should have listed them as Ameraucana not Araucana. If you are still interested, please let me know before tomorrow, Tuesday. The last two (1 dark Ameraucana X and 1 Salmon Faverolle X) are going to my neighbor for freezer camp.... They are 5 months old...

Anyone interested in a rooster? I'm trying to rehome the last of my roosters... 11 cockerels and 5 pullets, terrible outcome from my hatch! Five months old now, three are Salmon Faverolle X Copper Marans and 1 is Light Araucana X Copper Marans. All parents calm and level-headed, and so far no...

Thanks for the tips and suggestions! They are certainly handsome boys!!

Still trying to figure out how to update my location... Columbus, Montana.

Have about 8 cockerels for give away. Dad is a Copper Marans and very gentle. He is a bit henplucked, LOL. Moms are also well dispositioned.... Salmon Faverolle, Barred Rock, Light Ameraucana, and Dark Ameraucana. Believe the gray chick to be the Light Ameraucana cross. Both Salmon Faverolle...

How very cool. Never heard of a California gray but she is a great layer!! What a knowledgeable group you all are!

She is 3 years old. 😁

Oh, and her barring is lighter, less distinct, and her tail feathers more pronounced and longer.

I have 3 other BRs and they are larger, and lay brown eggs. She lays white eggs. 😁

Hi. I have a hen that was supposed to be a Silver Wyandotte. She is not that, nor the Barred rock she resembles. She is smaller in stature, lighter barring, and regularly lays XL white eggs. Any idea what she might be?

Hi All... I'm looking for local folks who might have Faverolles. I live in the East Mountains outside Albuquerque. Thanks!

I'm definitely interested in ideas from this thread as we've discussed a larger "run" area as well. We also have coyotes that circumvent the electric fence at times. Is there a way that won't break the bank to predator-proof aerial and ground dangers over large areas?

I had the same problem this week! My Australorp usually lays round coppery eggs, but I got an almost white one yesterday and was concerned. Guessing it might have been hers because of the shape -all 6 of my hens lay brown eggs. She has had a rough winter, frostbite and now the others are picking...

Hi All, Here is the latest update; unfortunately, we are STILL having problems... To-date, we have added 3 - 6" chimney vents to the high side of the ceiling, and 5 - 2" hole vents along the bedding level at the front and back of the coop. The girls are still getting spots of frostbite, and...

This is the low side exterior...

@Egghead_Jr, thanks for the technical explanation, it's very helpful. I have a couple questions/concerns. My low side is mostly comprised of the two doors. Not sure there is room for vent holes (though I will measure!). Also, the hens are indeed almost at roof level on the low side. I do have...
