Hi Everyone! my next dream chicken (other than my easter Eggers) would be a Faverolle chicken (they come in all kinds of colors). I'd love to get 2-more hens. They say they lay light brown to pinkish eggs. Does anyone have them in their flock?

I want chickens SO badly but sadly we aren't allowed to have any in our township. So I have to live vicariously through all of you.

I have five faverolles chicks. They are supposed to be good winter layers. I got them, because I couldn't get chanteclers.quote:

Hah! Isn't that how it always goes? It's as if I think the other chickens will be racist or something... "But honey, we only have the ONE Buckeye! s/he needs a buddy or 10!" "It has 35 other chickens for buddies, Natalie" "No no, silly, I mean a BUCKEYE buddy..." Oh dear >.< My poor husband!

Natalie, you're right, I can't wait till my girls start laying in the next couple of months. It'll be like going on an Easter Egg hunt everyday with all the different colors I might find. I hope they each lay a different color. I cant wait!!

Well I did the July Mystery Egg Swap over at Backyard Chickens, and I only got 3 to hatch, BUT those are all Buckeyes! So now I have 4 little Buckeyes instead of just the one :)
