All comments and opinions will be appreciated! I can't wait to get some more of these guys!

 

 

I am not a fav expert either but she is a cutie! She does appear to be a little dark.

This whole Fav thing is a sickness, I tell you!!  LOL  We started about 4 years ago with a pair of hatchery LF Salmon Favs (which we still have, my son can't bear to part with them - yes, I have a whole extra pen for hatchery birds that I do not breed, good grief!)

We now have large fowl in Salmon, and starting lines of buff and blue / black.

We also have bantams in salmon, blue salmon, black, blue, splash, buff, my son is working on partridge, and we are getting whites soon.

I'm so sorry to hear about Henry - I have three of his boys, they're about 5 weeks old....

Well, if I had to have a sickness, this is a good one! Wow! That's quite a collection of eye candy My DBF keeps asking me "how many of these are you keeping?" and "what's your long term plan for the birds?" But, the good news is, he really enjoys them

Henry's boys are all very friendly....recently if I hold my hand down to them, they run around to face my hand and stand up real tall, waiting for me to rub their little chests They are sooo cute! The 2 little pullets I got from Laurel are also Henry's, very cute, nice color coming in - one is a little shy, the other is like the boys and likes a good chest rub!

DBF can't say the breed name, he calls them "foo-fa-rahs" But - he can point them out to me! It's a good start, I have to be patient, he's come a long way:;)LOL

I would love to set up a special area just for these birds. They really are my favorites....
