    I posted my low temp last night, -15.2° My Faverolles are roosting outside in the solarium instead of the main coop. My little silkie hens roost with them, well, UNDER them lol.

Interesting tidbit, I had two leghorns with huge combs, and they never got frostbite, they slept with their heads under a wing. My roo has a bit of frostbite, and one of...

    Crazyhen~ I hatched these pretty birds from eggs I aquired from Keesmom, they are to her credit! Edited to add, their eggs are medium sized. They are something! I really cant get over the colors in the rooster. All the feathers in his tail amd wings are purple, green, and blue, and...

    I spent some time in the coop today, and they are certainly dressed for a Maine winter! And, a Salmon Faverolle roo is truly a beautiful thing! This is my first experience with them in person, I have only seen pics, and the camera cant capture their true colors. They are positively regal...

    Lol! Mine are the SAME way, they spend all morning and afternoon in the woods behind the house, and in particular in the thick ferns along the stone wall, they have tunnels and hiding places beaten down all through there. They come out to see if I have something for them and then dissapear back...

    I live about 1/2 hour out of Bangor and I have family in the Waterville area. That would be wonderful! I would much rather have locally bred birds! Thank you! Could you PM me and we can try and set something up?
