I've never had problems with them. Then again I treat them as livestock and don't hand feed treats or get all timid walking in their pen. The meanest rooster in my whole barn is a silkie....
I live in southwestern MN and have show caliber bantam salmon faverolles. I've been breeding and showing them for about 6 years now. I'm an NPIP flock and do have a current IA import permit. Shipping is available if its not too cold or I'm about an hour from the IA border. I'd have 9 chicks...
I'm from southwestern MN and have the bantam faverolles. Ken Splett from Freeman SD also has the bantams. Over here in MN I know Duane Urch has some standards. However at the last MSPA show just weeks ago he was looking for some standards too. Marilyn Pikal (Fox Hollow Calls) from here in MN...
I showed the original babies twice back in fall of 2010. Once was under a top featherleg judge too, Eric Kutch from CA. They did very well, but at that point I really was new to them. I showed them once in fall of 2011 and they were out of condition that time. I just had a kid that spring...
I've only been working with this breed for a few years now so any advice is taken. My birds all came from Jaynese Knight (Knights Chicks) from AL. I guess she got her stock from Leisha. All salmons, no blues here at all... I don't believe any of them have vulture hocks, must have just had...
I was using another cock early in the year too, so some of the older babies are out of this male too. He met an early grave due to a dog in about March though.
After putting about 50 of these through the growout pen this summer I noticed a few weird abnormalities. I don't have pics since the boys are over at another farm, but a handfull of the boys have this weird splash coloration going on. The oldest were a February hatch so should almost be...
I haven't posted any pics in a while.... Here's some from around the barn on monday. Have some older birds that are coming out of a molt and some of the older pullets running with them.
Thank you ...... I appreciate the help!
At the one show it was Eric Kutch from CA judging the featherlegs. There were 3 of us exhibiting and maybe 15 of the breed there total. I also saw 2 of the large fowl over in continental, but still not much to compare to. Eric placed that cockerel...
I've been a lurker on this thread for the last year now. I'm still trying to learn and get started with this breed. I got my start from Jaynie Knight and she got her birds from Leisha. I started out with 14 cockerels and 12 pullets that were hatched last March/April. I've narrowed it down to...
Wow small world! Thank you for posting. I was planning on the BCPPA Fall Classic in New Ulm on Oct. 8-10th and the MN State Poultry Show in Hutchinson on Oct. 22-24th. I mainly show silkies and my siblings are into waterfowl. My mom had been drooling over some standard faverolles shown by...
I'm new to this thread and to this breed. I bought some eggs this spring from Jaynie Knight (jimnjay on here). I have 9 pullets and narrowed down the cockerels to just 3. I was hoping to maybe show a few of them in October. I'm going to ask the experienced people on here if there are any...
