    Vegans of BYC!!

    I'm a bit late to this thread, but I'm an ovo-vegetarian. I was vegan for many years, but I'm willing to eat eggs from my chickens and I figure giving eggs to friends and family helps reduce the number of factory farmed eggs being purchased. I've only had chickens for two years, so I'm fairly...

    Salmon Faverolles chicks breed and gender?

    They both look like pullets to me. I have 6 hatchery salmon faverolles chicks who I recently posted on here at 6 weeks, and the consensus was they were all pullets and they look pretty similar to yours. From what I've learned, cockerels have black feathers on their chests, not just the freckles...

    6 week old salmon faverolles, trouble figuring out which one is the cockerel

    Thank you for giving your opinion on this. Since everyone seems certain these are all pullets, I went ahead and made arrangements to go pick up my relative's extra cockerel today.

    6 week old salmon faverolles, trouble figuring out which one is the cockerel

    I appreciate getting your opinion on them. It's helpful since it can be so hard to tell even in breeds like these which are suppose to be easy. I feel like I have stared at them too long and need other sets of eyes to take a look at this point... Thank you!

    6 week old salmon faverolles, trouble figuring out which one is the cockerel

    Hi! I got these from a hatchery and they are supposed to be 5 pullets and 1 cockerel. At first I thought the lightest colored one (#4) was the cockerel and his feathers were coming in slower, as I read that happens with this breed sometimes and he was also the smallest one. The other 5 also...

    New from Tennessee

    Hello! I've had 6 easter egger hens for 2 years now. A month ago I got 6 salmon faverolles chicks which I will be introducing to the flock as soon as they are old enough. These chickens are primarily pets who have the handy bonus of supplying family and friends with eggs, so I went with the...
