The hen, do you only have the one?

Ewesheep, does that breeder you know have a listing or a website or something?
THANKS!

My bad I thought that you had three pullets. I didn't realize that it was the same girl in all three pics.

Just that she looks different in every pic and pic #3 is the best one of her as you can see a bit more of her face.

Get a hold of Rose Isgrigg and she is one sweet lady to work with. She was the one that referred me to several breeders in my state.

Yeah, just the one hen. We had a very poor hatch, with only 2 of 9 hatching and one died overnight. Number 1 is the survivor from that hatch. I contacted the lady we bought the eggs from to let her know that he only had 4 toes on each foot, and she sent us 4 more eggs (which didn't hatch at all) and the other 3 chicks (2 roos, 1 hen). So this is what we have to work with right now, and no money to buy more stock. I'd like to make do with what we have, but from what you all are saying, that may not be a good idea.

This is a pic of my bantam Faverolle but she was very similiar to the LF size.

That is pitiful! No Faverolle breeder would ever pass down the four toed chicks without letting folks know its a new color or hatchery bred birds that needed improvement. You would do the breed justice if you buy them from private breeders like some of us in here and do your homework and research. Ask ALOT of questions on the "pedigree" on the birds. If you can not get any answers, then keep on looking. Dick Boulanger, Rose Isgrigg and Mike Stapish are all great breeders and you should have birds that descended from their flock.

Yes squeeze them all you like!

She had such laid back personality and so laid back too! I loved her to pieces until she died a few years back of egg impactation.

I know of one breeder, Mothergoose, who raises Faverolle Bantams and she is very good! she lives in Illinois.
