I have a Faverolles rooster in SE Michigan if anyone is interested, from the Patterson line in Indiana, and the very nice Gerow line in Ontario. About 9 months old.

Hi everyone - I have two females and four male Faverolles available in Michigan. Most were hatched this summer; the only exception is one of the females which was hatched last November. These were hatched from females from the Gerow line in Canada, which last year won Reserve Continental at...

What traits are you focusing on? I've seen general poultry breeding schemes that suggest that you select for "type" first, and "color" last, but the complexity of the patterning in Salmon Faverolles would seem to demand that color should be an early consideration, rather than a late one...

I conversed briefly with Peter Merlin and Dick Boulanger back in 2010, I think, when I first got Faverolles. My recollection is that one way of breeding these birds is to select females and males to compensate in some way for the fault of the other, to produce a male or female bird with desired...

Hi pasofinofarm - you may not remember me, but in 2010 I was searching for some nice, non-hatchery Faverolles, and Henry recommended that I contact you for hatching eggs. I had no experience incubating eggs, and none of the ones you sent me hatched (my fault, I'm certain), but you very...

Oh I am not giving up on him. I would just like to get some chicks yet this year - even though it is so late. However, I can't have two roosters here, so would really appreciate borrowing the attention of one at one of the shows in Ohio - unless that is just not done?

Hey everyone - I have two beautiful Faverolles pullets from Terry Gerow in Canada, and have now tried two roosters to get to the next generation, without success. My latest rooster is from Ron Patterson; Einstein was born this spring and began to crow this summer, but still no fertilized...

I had a silent Faverolles roo last year from Terry Gerow, who has an outstanding Faverolles flock in Canada. Walter died, unfortunately, so I now have a young roo from Ron Patterson. Einstein is not silent, but only crows a few times between 7:30 and 8:30 in the morning; I just keep him in the...

Ron Patterson had many extra cockerels earlier this spring; he is near Indianapolis.

Hi Tinychicks - I am also trying to keep a Faverolles rooster, without disturbing neighbors. My first rooster was from the lovely Terry Gerow flock in Canada. Walter was very quiet, and crowed only when he could see a bright light - headlights across the street, my back porch light, the...

Ok, I did some searching on crossbeak genetics, and didn't find anything that would convince me (a novice) to not breed an otherwise beautiful bird just because of a crossbeak. Although the most common form of crossbeak is thought to be genetic, the frequency of crossbeak in the progeny is...

Why do people think crossbeak is genetic? Has anyone actually tested this?

Not sure if the variety has its own name, but the breeder I got them from is working on establishing a line with that darker cinnamon color. I personally really like the crisp contrast between the light colored breast and the darker colored back. I would love to tell you who this wonderful...

Hi everyone! This is Wendy from Ann Arbor, MI. I recently took a road trip to Toronto to pick up three very beautiful pullets from a breeder in Trenton, Canada, who started his flock with birds from Peter Merlin, Dick Boulanger, and Ron Patterson. I have been in search of a rooster, so have...
