Quote: Got any Faverolles standards anywhere?

Quote: I think that may be true for Faverolles a long time ago the two types were separated and used to be both in france but now there is only light in france. Its a complex thing the Faverolles were really just farm duel purpose birds and were really inconsistent. Our standard reflects both...

Quote: No not even three and yes they are all related those are the three main breeders. There is one strain from the initial importations (not sure who) they are all related. Then there was the importation of one or two British birds that provided us with a new influx of blood. Dick, Ron, and...

Quote: Ok since I was so tired I will answer this question in more detail now. I don't have any Faverolles right now. The major lines are Dick Boulanger, Peter Merlin, and Ron Patterson. They are the major breeders of LF salmons and whites in the country today. There are many different...

Quote: We are not a very old country but for us RIR, buckeyes, Plymouth rocks ect. They are OUR heritage birds I really don’t care as much about other country’s breeds I care about the USA bred birds. You are doing a very good thing by keeping them alive here but how many people on here will...

I agree with you most of these "heritage fowl" were just mixed breed farm birds brought over here by the settlers. I also sometimes wonder about calling them heritage when there are european breed and asian breeds that have existed for thousands of years. But they are American breeds and are...

Quote: Henry, I know you have a Faverolles thread going too (570+ pages: awesome!), but I appreciate you dropping in. If a person wanted to try out Faverolles as a new addition to their flock where would you suggest they acquire stock? There are some very good breeders of Faverolles on this...
