Warning!


Never enter a loft full of Fehrholz birds without a shirt on! They will scatch your back up real good attempting to land on you!

No kidding. I have wished I had a face mask on a few times letting them out of the kit box. I have learned to step aside. Their toe nails are sharp!

Re: Warning!


I have an OR cоck that sits on the v-perch whapping my hand and pecking at me.When I pick him up he'll keep pecking then stand on my hand and grab and pull whatever he can reach.It's a kind of tough love I think as he'll land on my head or my shoulder and is fine there,cooing away.Very calm in the loft.

Re: Warning!


My daughter sticks her finger through the wire of the loft and a couple of the Fehrholz hens will come over and nibble on her finger.They seem to be very smart birds. They remind me like when you get homers real tame. Nick
