    Faverolles Thread

    there's a guy selling a flock of Salmon Favs here and he says they are pure. However he has one solid white bird. I know there are white Favs but, is that normal? Is his flock tainted or is that an anomaly? Anyone with input on their experiences would be greatly appreciated.
