    Sandi, What you have described is most assuredly an incubator creation. I was a bit concerned when you told me you had bought a new hovabator for the eggs I sent you. Misshapen heads, eyes etc are usually due to humidity and heat problems. Yes, indeed there are vast weather differences between...

    Melissa, it happens.-) You produce very pretty birds. We all know that. My condolences on your mother. I feel certain that you, as always, will offer something that will make that person happier. If, for sure it was your chicks. Be well Peter

    " if more breeders bred this way the breed would have much better vigor". Hmmm. Ya know, i own probably the most closed flock breeding wise in the entire country. Consequently yes, my bloodlines are tight but I don't get where some of you are coming from with this "lack of vigor". I have no...

    DITTO! On the being bullied. They are way too docile even as adults to run with other breeds. If one is not careful one can miss that and then they starve to death. NOT pretty. p

    How funny Sandi. I worked with btm La Fleche a long time ago and they'd hatch like popcorn on the 18th day.... Every clutch. Lemons how cute. I hope Summer babies prove out to be as special as everyone seems to think he is. Not to slight him at all. I'm very happy to see Summer and his Simm...

    Yeah! The closest show to being dead center is the Heart of America Bantam Club show in KS. Their show is in Nov annually. I don't know a lot about it so I will call an old dd friend and find out more so you will have the info for this weekend. I will be there, but will be flying in so it will...

    I have just been reminded that the Centennial for Faverolles to be admitted to the APA Standard is 2014. I ask the powers that be if would it be possible to join the two nationals for that one year. I will be happy to sponsor etched Mikasa crystal vases for Champ and reserve faverolles. I was...

    Yes Sandy please do. We all need to understand the group I have now are at the most 10 months old (except Rupert and Clarissa, Summer's parents). The fertility on Summer has been mainly due to him being the youngest of the breeding males I have. Inexperience. I have cut his number of females...

    Actually, fav chicks can come in several forms. There's the ever popular yellow, then you can have faint or real live def smudge mark/stripes right through them looking like baby quail. Simm was a quail colored chick. It does not imply there is a cross some where. So, there certainly can be...

    Nice female. Crossed with the right male she could produce better color. If I currently took the attitude of too dark don't bother no one would ave anything...... For better type sometimes you must go with something off color. You then work back towards the better color but with much better...

    With the eggs you were sent you could use Miami on any of them. Marcels pen is full of the britgirl daughters and granddaughters. Summer is breeding.... uh huh Marcels pullet full sibs.. You say Miami is too tall? He looks to be balanced to me. Too tall for me implies stringy tall bird with no...

    Everything sent to Dick were Arthur get and produce of My Girl and Adore Me. So they would be sibs to my Marcel. I like seeing the pics because I have only one male from that breeding. There is some what a cookie cutter effect That's what I was after. Rupee. Now that's some tight Simm breeding...

    as promised here is the "evolution" of my favs... This is Simm and his full brother (who didn't make it for obvious reason) Hatch 2001 Simm at 3 yrs. Summer represents the Simm blood and his type is on target with that. Hatch 2011. Reesa represented the Simm breeding also. Hatch...
