I am trying to wrap my head around the faverolles breeding to match up the hens (darker or lighter) to which roo... I think its like, if you do a darker hen to a roo, you'll get richer roos... Oh, the fun... LOL.
I know... I have a weird collection of birds here... The yokos, phoenix, faverolles, seremas, jap bants, marans, silkies (the phoenix HATE my silkie roo), and then of course the odd ball mutts. I only breed for pure in the spring, then mutts later. The mutts are just for dinner (the boys), the pullets for egg replacement when the old biddies go on hiatus.
