    i guess i'm thinking the opposite. they look like off colored pullets to me. the color in the primaries (long wingtip feathers) are looking all salmon. if they were going to be cockerels i would think they would have white on the leading edge and more black towards the trailing edge of each...

    Spring Chick Fling Chickenstock in Ma May 19th 2012

    i'm not sure if i'll be able to make it down that direction. i've told my sister about it so she can see if the guy with the guinea pigs will be there this year. Shay, were you still interested in the 2 peahens i had? i'm sorry but i haven't been very focused on BYC this winter. we've been...

    Shay, do you happen to know if the guy selling guinea pigs will be there this year with more? my nephew lost his little Skater Girl (aka Scarlet) last year and he would really like to get another from the guy. that guinea pig had their dog trained to know when the fridge was going to be opened!

    heh, yeah the turkeys were getting too big to try and jump on 'moma's' back. a 25lb bird should not even think about that! i didn't mind when they were poults but once they got fully grown at 3-4 months that was it! they kept trying to display to me too. i only had 1 hen and she was sweet but...

    Leisha, is this right and you are also listing eggs on ebay?!? Sandy, will you be posting just your favs eggs? the mahogany and the salmons? i can't have geese and as much as i'd love to get turkeys i promised myself not again. got too attached to last year's meat turkeys. they got jealous of...

    Cochin Thread!!!

    if you could post a pic it might also help. but cochins don't have beards and 5 toes. Faverolles have both those qualities but their skin is white and the earlobes should be red (but it is too common for them to be enameled or fully white lobed). Silkie would be my other guess if the skin was...

    heh, sort of like a show watching some of those auctions and how their numbers jump towards the end! ever watch the auctions for some of the newest color imports? when the coronation sussex came they would go for $600-$100 for just 6 eggs. now the chocolate orps have been doing that!

    i've been keeping an eye on your auctions lately! i thought they were yours but i'm currently not able to add to my flock. hubby's orders and because we're moving in the next month i don't want to worry about new chicks and moving them around.

    i've done that too with older favs and younger chicks. the favs will get along with everyone. the females will act motherly even if they aren't old enough yet. my latest fav pullet did this to 3 chicks that hatched 2 weeks after her and her hatch mate Marans cockerel seemed to think she was also...

    the PO has been a little slow when it comes to shipping live birds, and even eggs some times. i panic'd when i had Henry send me Apollo, Mosy and the 3 girls when they didn't come by 3pm the following day a couple years ago. they came the next morning and my dh wasn't too thrilled with the...

    Cloverleaf, i got an idea for the shirts if you were planning on using the patch on either the front or back on something like a T-shirt. maybe you could put something like 'Got Faverolles Chickens?' on one side, on the opposite side you could put the logo and under the logo 'Better Get Some!'...

    you could always put them on something like a Henley long sleeve shirt. i prefer those for the cooler months. Cloverleaf, will patches with this design eventually be made for sale? i'd love to get one if they are!

    Peach, this might help you with your possible color combinations that could pop up from your crossing of colors. there are 4 different languages to choose colors from, one is English. select your roo's color in the column on the left, and the hen's color on the right, then click on the 'to...

    wow, scarey to see those pics looking like they were taken so close to the funnel. it is a rare occasion here in NH to see them touch down but we have been getting at least one a year up here the past 5 years. mostly they are small and part of micro burst systems but we had a HUGE one run...
