WarrensWorld Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Does anyone have 'Fenton Blues'? We're thinking of getting a couple, to go with the Blackrocks, Bluebells and our ISA brown (Fern). We just need to know their temperament, and are they OK free-ranging with other hens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I had 4 Fenton Blues a few years ago. I wouldn't have them again. Whilst they did lay beautiful greeny blue eggs, they weren't at all robust and were very skittish. One was relentlessly broody, and did make a very good surrogate mother.

Chucky Mama Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I have a Fenton Rose which are very similar. She doesn't lay the promised blue eggs She is a little smaller than by Bluebelle but not a small hen. She was a little skittish but has recently become much more laid back (1 year on approx). She gets on perfectly well with my other birds (see signature for breeds). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrensWorld Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Thanks for the replies, I think we'll give the Fentons a miss. Must say that Bluebells are great birds, and to a slightly lesser degree Blackrocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
