    Where did you hear that Faverolles are loud? In general mine are not. You are going to find loudmouths in any breed. MPC gets their Favs from Meyer.

    Post pictures on the Faverolles thread for advice. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/268082/faverolles-thread/14660 Pullets vary widely in color. Type is most important. No matter what shade of salmon they should be evenly colored from head to tail. Cockerels also vary in color. Don't get...

    If they're pullets and are already poorly colored than they will likely stay that way. Cockerels look like a mess for a long time. You can ask on the Fav thread about eggs. I'm not sure what people are getting at the moment. I'm not getting many because of the cold, and haven't even set up...

    Are you sure the others you have are boys? I have seen some really awful colored pullets out of hatcheries in the past 2-3 years (as in mostly black).
