What a cool looking egg! I'm trying to get some really spotty layers to try to make a reliably speckled olive egger. I've seen some on eBay listed as "speckled old style Welsummer hatching eggs" that have small to very large spots on the eggs, much like wild bird eggs that are spotted. I'm not...

Oh, I was glad to see a new thread started on this breed! Will be getting some hatching eggs soon and want to know more about them--egg size, color and productivity, temperament, broodiness (have heard they are) and whatever else might be good to know.

I got 15 BBS Bresse straight run day old chicks in an Rare Breed Auctions auction, directly from Greenfire Farms, and I won the auction for $95.00 (not including shipping), but an auction a few months earlier was won at $130.00. That makes each chick $6.33 for my bunch and $8.66 for the earlier...

Do any of you have BBS Bantam Faverolles still?

My thoughts exactly, Odelia! Your blue pullet looks just like mine, but I wish I had some of your Barnevelders, too... Where did you get yours?

Mine probably won't be cranking the eggs out until after March, but then I could have eggs available when they are laying regularly. I have five hens-1 blue, 1 black and 3 splash. I'll be keeping 1 each of black, blue and splash for my roosters and not keeping the colors separated. I may need...

Just collected my first two eggs today! I noticed two hens and a rooster REALLY checing out a nesting box this morning and then found the two tonight--yay! And, they're just a week shy of 5 months old so they're living up to what I've read about them starting to lay early at 4-1/2 months on the...

Sounds good. : ) I'll let you know when they start laying eggs and we can make some plans then. It'll probably be sometime in March til they're laying.

Maybe they put the Isbars in as extras for warmth. I'll take more photos this weekend when I have the time to chase after them in the chicken yard like paparazzi!

One of my black roosters has some gold on the wings, but I think he's the only one with it. I have two blue roosters and haven't seen that on them, unless I haven't looked close enough... There's always so much activity when I let them out. I got my group on Rare Breed Auctions directly from...

Mine are doing great and I'm really glad I got them--especially with the news you read! That is a bummer because they are really pretty and I've never seen them for sale anywhere else. I wonder what new breeds they're making room for? Usually that's the case... I have 5 hens (1 black, 1 blue...

Uh-oh... I hope they don't turn aggressive : / I will eventually have all four of the different breeds I keep separated, but we just got them this Spring and finally finished the "official" chicken coop two weekends ago. They are definitely the lowest on the pecking order right now since all...

I have now had the group for about a month and the group is really good looking! I have one white one, four black ones, five blue ones and five splash. They are very curious and friendly and I really like the breed. The blues are really pretty, too and they are not aggressive at all to chicks...

Hi, I'm new to the forums and new to Bresse--just got 12+ at auction earlier this afternoon from Greenfire. There will be blues, white or black & splash. I've heard that they're pretty friendly and not flighty so I hope that's the case. They sure are pretty, though! I just wondered how yours...

Did you ever have any luck finding some Blue Faverolles (not Blue Salmon, but really the Blue ones)? It's been impossible for me to find any information, even from the Faverolles Society and I can't get a response from Beanwood Faverolles in the UK. I guess there are none available on this...
