Hi, I am thinking about trading one of my girls for this rooster here (and driving like an hour and a half)....what do you guys think? Is he going to be a good breeding roo? I know he isn't perfect, but I drove hours to get the birds I have now and I would like one more unrelated male.
I...
thank you very much. I am pretty sure the majority of my chicks look like that. I am going to go do a good look over and maybe take a few pics. I love my salmons so much I have a true desire to try my best to breed my little flock to standard.
Thank you for the reply. I have about thirty chicks that I am going to need to start really assessing so I can see who I want to keep and who I can let go. They all look roughly the same, all have beards and five toes and feathered legs thank goodness. I know I will place more emphasis on...
I have a question for the faverolles breeders. I have always thought that having five toes was the breed standard, but as I have read more I have seen there is more to it.
Is the fifth toe supposed to point vertically?..
@SkylinePoultry1 I think it is a fabulous idea. I saw those on mypetchicken. Since salmon Faverolles and americauna/ee are my favorite breeds. And how much other people and myself love different colored eggs. Once you do this, I would love to buy chicks or eggs from you.
So I finally got me some salmon faverolles after lusting after them for months.
But....I have a few questions.
The guy I got them from Thinks they are about three months but couldn't remember for sure. How old would you guess they are??
And two, does this feather loss/growth look normal to...
