Yes, that's lovely. You may just be an artist after all. I know what you mean, I love mine too.
I have often wondered, just how much our Faverolles here is the U.S. look like the ones in France, where they originated. Mine are bantams. Can you post some pictures of yours.
Chickie'sMoma: Sorry for your losses. These chickens sure are easy to get attached too, especially the ones that make such effort to get close to us. We can only do our best for them & I'm sure you did.
Last weekend, I noticed a small hole leading into my perimeter ground & roof wired, chain...
sandiklaws: Thanks for the tip on scarlet oil for toe injuries, haven't used it before; will start looking for it at the pharmacy. Your avatar is cool.
hcammack: Really looking forward to my next Bantam Favs egg hatch from you, due May 28th.
Here's a pic of those 2 pullets born Mar. 18, 2010 that were in post #2102 with hardly any muffs or beards when younger. They've got them now! Thanks Henry for selling me the Bantam BS Favs eggs from your old Pen #1 Hattricks line that these came from.
Have really been enjoying all of the...
Henry, the Bantam Faverolles eggs you shipped have arrived. They are settling in an egg carton on the counter to be set in incubator later. Thank you for packing them so safely like you always do. How exciting! Thanks!
Here are a couple of pullets born 3/18/10, incubated from Henry's eggs (old Pen #1); they are 6+ wks old. When born, they had extreme fluffy cheeks & beards; so waiting for their new feathers on cheeks & beards to grow out all the way. The others in the hatch are roos, good looking also. I'm...
Since Easter is coming up soon, I thought you'd enjoy a festive picture. Here's one of my March hatches, 3/18/10; these 7 chicks are 2 wks old on April 1st. The eggs were shipped by hcammack in Maryland, thanks. I promissed Henry some pics of these great, fluffy & strong chicks. As you know...
In regards to USPS & very late delivery of hatching eggs packages, does anyone feel that getting the xtra "delivery confirmation" for shipping is worth it & would help get the package better attention? Did any of the late delivery packages mentioned in prior posts recently have that "deliver...
Chickie'sMoma: I continue to be impressed at how sweet the Bantam Faverolles roos are with me. Have fun with your new pair!
As for Henry, sounds like he had been working real hard with others to help set up pens for the show that he has taken his group to. I hope he was able to wake up in...
Hope you're having a good time, Henry. How many cages did you set up? Well, you'll certainly get attention & promote the breed with being the only Faverolles there. Maybe it'll inspire others to enter next time. People just don't seem to know about the breed, they don't know what they're...
Looks like my hatch is done, with 1 egg pending. I'm very pleased to have these pure Bantam Blue Salmon Faverolles chicks, sent to me by Henry (Pen #1). It was a "smooth" hatch that took about 24 hrs. between the 1st chick to the last one to hatch, "dry incubation" method used. They are all...
Henry, just wanted to let you know that when I got home from work today, there were 2 chicks hatched & 1 pip with 5 more eggs to go. These are from your pen #1. I'm giddy!! Will post pics when they're all in the brooder.
Looking forward also to reading Peter's site throughly this weekend...
Hi Henry! Are you traveling to the show or having your group shipped for someone to enter them for you there? The 21st is coming up soon. Best of luck, have fun!
Henry, your hens look so cozy wrapped in towels. Good luck keeping them clean for the show. Best wishes for you & your group going to the show. Have fun! Hope to see pics.
