Hi! I'd like to introduce my weird little one and a half month old """salmon"""" faverolles.
When I first purchased them from ideal poultry, they were pure white little puffballs. I thought they would grow up to be perfect, white and peach colored salmon faverolles.
That's not at all what happened
Their first couple of tail and wing feathers grew in perfectly cream colored. But as soon as I brought them home, everything changed. Every feather that grew in after that was either gray, black, or brown. I was so confused. I thought I had somehow gotten 2 roosters!
I'm pretty sure they are pullets. Their coloring is just because of poor breeding. I asked ideal poultry and they said they just had the "black gene." Ironically, they were hatched on the day of a lunar eclipse! I like to think this is why they're so dark
Anyway, here's some pictures:
I also have decided to rename them, because their last names don't really fit anymore. Id love to hear suggestions!!
