    Faverolles Thread

    I do. I get $35/dozen, plus shipping. Having said that, I am not a real fan of shipping hatching eggs. I feel like I have way more control of the process hatching, then shipping day-old chicks. The potential low hatch rates of shipped eggs bother me a bit. The Post Office seems to take much...

    Faverolles Thread

    I have both Salmon and Mahogany Faverolles (LF). These are big chunky birds, with good toes and combs. They are productive layers with great fertility. I do have room in the incubator to hatch some if anyone is interested. NPIP Cert. $8.00/chick for Mahogany - $6.00/chick for Salmon...

    Faverolles Thread

    I have a couple of spare Salmon Roosters in Lindsborg, KS. An hour and 15 minutes north of Wichita, if that is close enough?

    Faverolles Thread

    Thanks both of you for your kind words. It makes my happy hearing how much you like those birds. It makes the effort of selecting and breeding that much more rewarding. Thanks to you two and others, I have sold out of Faverolles for this year. I will be hatching both Salmon and Mahogany Favs...

    Faverolles Thread

    Major, I have good quality Salmon and Mahogany Faverolles here in Central Kansas. I am 80 miles north of Wichita, six hours drive from DFW. These are nice gentle Faverolles bred for size and egg production. I currently have 20 week old started pullets for sale. I could easily put together a...

    Faverolles Thread

    In my experience, Favs are a quite passive breed in most aspects. In a mixed flock they are the least aggressive and most apt to be picked on. When I put them on grass, they do the least amount of scratching as my other birds. (Welsummers & Erminettes). They seem to be more comfortable in...

    Faverolles Thread

    I have Faverolles in Central Kansas. I will have chicks all Spring. For an order of 4 or 5, it will have to be farm pickup. I am an hour or so north of Wichita, 6 hours north of Dallas, if you're up for a road trip. Smokybuttesranch.com Thanks

    Faverolles Thread

    I will have LF Salmon Faverolles chicks for sale this Spring. I have been breeding Salmon Faverolles for five years now. My goal is to return them to the productive capabilities that made them a popular meat bird and Winter layer in their home country of France. My birds are true to the...

    Difference between Erminette Breed and Erminette Color?

    Curt, Nice pictures. I have one cockerel that looks almost exactly like that boy, with willow green legs. He weighed 5.00 pounds at 16 weeks, on 18% chick starter. He is my best black marked cockerel. I have a couple of others that are bigger (5.25# to 5.35# at 16 weeks). They are marked...

    Difference between Erminette Breed and Erminette Color?

    Curt, Thanks for the very informative research! That had to be a lot of work. I am on the list to receive some chicks from Glenn this summer and have been attempting to locate some historical information. I want to do justice to these birds, so i have been searching for anything I can locate...
