Faverolles Thread

Hi everyone. Does anyone know where I can purchase Bantam Salmon Faverolles?

Hey everyone! I'm ordering some Faverolles this spring. I'm so excited! I had one little hen over a year ago who was the SWEETEST. She would come perch on my foot while I was outside doing chores. And she would sometimes try to WHILE I was walking and get an accidental flying lesson.

I'm loving all the pics of these adorable chicks!

I forgot that I had pre-ordered some faverolles from McMurray. Lo and behold, I got a message they are coming next week! Surprise.

I'm also going to my first poultry show on Friday! I only have one show quality right now ... a very nice hen. I'm also taking a welsummer and a bunch of bantam Wyandottes.

Any advice on what to pack for the show barn?

If interested could check on the internet about any poultry groups in Your area….They will often list shows during the year…..also most fairs have a poultry area….great place to learn about all things poultry…..also Your local feed stores may know too.

I don't show so I can't help too much. Bathe several days in advance. Trim nails and beaks. Are there any local Wyandotte or Welsummer clubs you can ask? I am sure there are all sorts of sprays, ointments, shampoos I know nothing of.

The one time I had birds entered it was last minute (Poultry Congress in MA). Washed them at 5 pm the night before coop in, with dish soap no less. Did nothing else with them and one of the 2 pullets ended up #2 out of 10 entered. The other was #4.

There are a few others. I'll try to remember who.
