The 2 adults are bantams and the 3 chicks are LF.. Unfortunately 2 of them are males so 1 will probably have to go.

I am sure someone here can point you in the right direction. I don't have any at the moment but hopefully I will get more in the future.

HI. I just wanted to share my only faverolle hen. Her mama got killed off by a hawk the day she laid her egg, so, I shoved it under my broody silkie along with another of her eggs that was on the counter. SO, her only 2 offspring got hatched out. One is a silkie faverolle, and then there is Loralie...

Isn't that one of the sweetest faces you've ever seen?

At the very least, wipe the poop off your feet before getting in the car.

It's easier than you think! wink.png Last October I started out with 2 trios and now, after my broodies hatched 7 last weekend, I'm up to 29 big_smile.png. About half of them are SF....

 

NovaAman, that is truly a sweet face ;) She looks very content, too.....

Novaman.... such a sad story about Lorelie's mom but it was great that you could get her last egg. She does have a very sweet face!

 

I always hatch more boys than girls. I am trying to find homes for 10 now and I know there will be the same if not more growing out. That isn't counting the ones I am keeping!

Here is a picture of her.  She's in the back, behind the non-chicken with the messy beard:
