I have been interested in Favorelles since I have wanted to have and keep chickens. The one thing that keeps being said is that thay are in general a less hardy breed. I live in Central NY where the winters can be brutal -10 to -30 degrees for weeks on end in January/February. Last year it was the worst. and summers that can have high 80's and 90's in August as the norm.
I truly love the Favorelle descriptions of temperament and I adore their little faces.
Does anyone know where I can get Fav's from a strong, prolific, hearty line? I really want these little ones.
Thank you for any help and infor you can give me.
I don't know who called them "less hardy" but that's not generally the case. They do better in cold weather than hot weather. I'm sure they will be fine in your climate.
