Good!  A staggered hatch, great & oooo Dorkings to go with your nice group of eggs.  Best wishes.

ya YAYYYY another Fun Month coming up.  First of all Save the Favs.  I love your chicks from March.  I was not aware of a blue faverolle.  Very nice though.

Ok, here it is.  March 16th, I started in the incubator
19 Partridge Cochins,13Mille Fleur D'Uccles bantams,4 Ameraucanas,and 2 EE's.  My Faverolles got mixed with the wrong rooster so I had to seperate them and couldn't incubate them for 30 days so I will not have a mixed Faverolles, but next time I hope to do a full incubator of them.

I CAN'T STOP!!

Don't worry, you're obviously not alone here!

You've got a great group started there in the bator & some fancy colors coming.  We'll see your Favs going next time around, will they be standards or bantams?

Yes, there are Blue Salmon Faverolles, they are what I started with.  The slate grey color replaces the black on the body color of the roos & replaces the black/or dark feathers in the wings on the hens.  The blue "gene" comes into play (blue, black & splash), but I haven't seen it except in crossing the Favs to the Wheaton Ameraucanas (which I'm done doing now).  So, they are Blue Salmon & sometimes you get just the Salmon offspring.  If you love Faverolles, be sure to check out the 'Faverolles thread' by hcammack.  http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=3828708#p3828708

Here are my 2 bantam roos Pepe Le Peu (Salmon) & Pierre Le Garre (Blue Salmon)

Will add my Blue Salmon hen here when I find a pic to post.

Henry, you've always got something new & interesting going on in your breeding programs.  Great fertility too!

I'm in!  I set 14 BBS Ameraucanas and 12 BCMs Thursday night.  Hoping I get a better hatch than last year (all but one of the surviving hatchlings was a BOY!)
