Thank you Peter!!! I believe your new page will help many folks who are looking into raising Faverolles. A little bit of knowledge goes a long way and saves a lot of Faverolles from ignorance (mine included). I used to think all chickens acted the same way and had no idea different breeds...

Thank you Sandkilaws and pfmerlin for your information. I truly wish I'd known this in 2010. Before I found BYC I didn't know very much about faverolles. Choose to order them because of their pretty fuzzy faces, but Ideal Poultry didn't give any info on their sweet/docile/more fragile...

OnAdobeRoad and Nambroth, I got my first Faverolles chicks in 2010 from Ideal Poultry in Cameron TX. I've had many different breeds through the years and found the Hatchery Faverolles to be more fragile than other breeds. Both the roo and hens were easily bullied by just about all the other...

I am so sorry for your change of plans!! Perhaps this will give you an opportunity to do something different. I have a mixed flock and have found my salmon faverolles to be the sweetest of all my breeds. In 2010 I decided to get an incubator and hatch eggs I found from breeders here at...

Sandiklaws, Checked out both web sites. This info is so interesting!!! Wish my high school/college science classes had been this much fun. And YES.....a horse is a horse, of course of course..da da da ta da ta da (can't remember all the words now, used to be able to sing it word for...

Thank you Bentley for your information. Sounds like you've studied the development of eggs. One can never have too much knowledge, so we all appreciate being educated to a deeper level. I will say I (and everybody else) have better hatch rates when incubating our own backyard eggs. But I...

Thanks sandiklaws, I believe the key word here is SHIPPED eggs. I've never worried about settling my backyard eggs, since I carefully carry them into the house.....but who knows what shipped eggs go through before they get to us. My rural route mail lady is very careful with my shipped egg...

Quote: no one has any for sale???!!! I just checked the BYC egg auction.......PiperOmar from OR has 12 LF Salmon Fav eggs up for auction, it's due to end in 6+ days.

Quote: Anybody? There are a number of fine breeders who belong to BYC and post on this thread. You might want to read through and look at different member's websites until you see what you want.

Henry, Those look like happy cows!!! I lived in Johnson Vermont '92-'95 at the Vermont Studio Center for visual artists & writers. There was a gentleman named Warren (can't remember his last name) who had a dairy farm a little north of Johnson. He'd graduated from UVM and was raising...

Quote: Hang in there NapoleanGoose!! So sorry to hear about you losing your roo. but glad to know you have his genes in your bator. If one has chickens long enough, one always loses that first roo. It's sad, but part of the process. Good luck with your 6 eggs in the bator!!!

Quote: Clover, 6 of the 8 eggies hatched and are running around right now in a 'chick' cage out in the coop. I'm not very sure of myself about the sexing thing.........but 4 have black on their wings and 2 have salmon on their wings. My guess is that means 4 roos and 2 hennlets???? I also...

Quote: Jeanine, I am SO hoping this is just a mix up in the production room of the calendar creators. (paste up artist mixed up titles) If it turns out to be an 'out & out' misuse of your photo, then I am outraged!!! I believe we are all very interested in the out come of your findings...

Quote: No, they aren't in the office today. If I don't hear from them before the lunch hour tomorrow, I'm going to call. Jeanine, I am SO hoping this is just a mix up in the production room of the calendar creators. (paste up artist mixed up titles) If it turns out to be an 'out & out'...

Quote: I'm just SICK for you Henry.........it must be so hard for you now since you are so far away and can't do anything. It's even harder when it's your own dogs. A few years ago I had all my dogs trained NOT to touch Moma's chickens.........then a neighbor's dog dug under my fence and...

LOL...........Have your girls been listening to reggae music? My barn radio is tuned to a classical station.....wonder what will come from that?!?!?
