Chickie'sMoma, My son was asking if I have heard on how they are doing? he's missing them.

I will be selling my Favoralles in the next couple of months or sooner, they are about 1 1/2 yrs old. they are all Hens, 2 white, 1 black and 2 blue (one of the blues has wadles not a beard) these birds were culls from Dick's Flock. I'm in RI I would like pick up or delivery when the time...

I don't think its mites, I checked them this morning for any sign of mites, as as I was doing that, the sexlinks walked right upto one of the Fav's and started pecking at her... I hate to get rid of her (she lays huge eggs) and she is the Oldest out of the bunch, also I have no were to seperate...

I've got a quick question, My Red Sexlinks desided she didn't like the beards on the Favoralles, so I caught her plucking them out of all of 5 of the Favoralls.. will they grow back after they molt? I have had them for over a year now, and It hard to see them missing the Beards.... ( they do...

Quote: I have 2 broody's, is there anyone in the RI/Mass area that has a few eggs try out any standard size. it will be our first time. and there's too.

Quote: I have 8 yr olds that still lay... It's not like their commercial birds with a life expectancy of 1 1/2 yrs.... I have a long time poultry judge friend that has a 14 yr old Game hen that still lays every day... Peter That's amazing!! Thats Great news.. thanks

I've got a quick question, How Long will Favorolles Lay for? a couple of years ? longer?

Quote: I think its just a bad habit that some birds have. Feather picking can be caused by over crowding as well as protein deficiency. What size coop are they in and what % protein is their feed. I believe Peter said he culls birds that develop this habit. Its not a good habit. My hens...

Is it normal for them to peck out each others beards? My 2 white favoralles I noticed there beards are gone !!!! are they getting board in the coop ?

Here in Rhode Island I have about 12", My favoralles are loving the snow that drifited into the run.....

Quote: Where did you get her? hatchery Faverolles are a whole different bird from breeder quality Faverolles. They are often very different in temperament and looks. You cannot expect her to keep up with RIR which have been bred solely for egg production for many years. 8 months is a long time...

Quote: My first Favs hatched last September, and started laying close to 20 weeks, with small eggs. Now, at 13 months old, their eggs are much bigger-same size as my Marans. The hatching eggs I got from Dick were Huge! Yeah I think a lot of it depends on age . All the eggs I saw at Dicks...

Quote: Thanks for the info. I think I may get Delawares instead. But the faverolles is very cute! Kind of reminds me a bit of an EE in the head area. I agree with Henry.........think about it some more..... I love my Faverolles, But I have to agree on the Egg size, Mine are LF, and have...

Quote: I'm fairly sure she's a BYC member too. I'll have to see if I can remember her username. She's way up there in NE VT, correct? Yep seems like it Peter is probably going to call and talk to her. I also sent her an email. I think I remember someone in VT with faverolles names Yevette...

I have to let my too Roosters go, I had a neighbor make a huge stink with the town about them.. they are about 5 months old I really want then to go to a good home.. Pickup is really perfered, but I can deliver between RI / MASS / CT within reason (20 miles) both are very calm and quiet, and...

Quote: Hey Dick, this fall I can set you up with some blacks if you still want them. Let me know what you want. If you are overwhelmed with salmon eggs you can send them my way. No blacks yet. I need to see how much room I'm going to have. I have lot of chicks to move out...

Dick, how big will a Bantam Buff get ? my son Loves his Colors. will the Bantam Rooster mate with a standerd size pullet? also do Favorall Roosters Crow a lot, or does it all depend on the bird ? I'm learning alot here about my birds, in the past 2 days I had 3 Leghorns Roo's when I was a...
