I absolutely need an orloff!!! Bearded and muffed chickens are my absolute favorite which is why Ameraucanas, Faverolles, and D’Uccles are my favorite haha. Hopefully Orloffs will be added to that list soon!!! Where did you get yours?

Oh she’s just the cutest! And she definitely looks more fabulous with an all white beard!

We got Brownie at one of our feed stores and I don’t know what hatchery they source from! She’s just the sweetest! Also if you want another bantam sized muff/beard the d’Anvers are also adorable! This is Pip Pip

Thought you guys would appreciate this shot I got today of my SF's beard development. This is Starla, my first-ever SF! She is about 8 weeks old.

Let's see some of your best Faverolles beard pics!

So so precious!!!!! It's crazy how different our chickens look even though they are the same breed.

Hello!

I’ve started my Faverolles breeding program this season, which has been… well… a steep learning curve!

Most of my favs I’ve acquired are older girls, so I needed to increase my breeding stock.

Apparently I love a challenge . A tricky breed to get right, a rare breed, finding ok quality stock, learning how to incubate in La Niña conditions, learning how to incubate shipped eggs and living on the island state of tasmania, on the island country of Australia!

These are two of my better babies from my first round of purebred favs. These eggs travelled about 4000km by express post over 4 days to get to me.

Pretty birds! Very ambitious of you! If I had more space I'd love to breed my own birds. Alas, my only remaining Faverolle is not the quality to breed lol.
