Thank you for your help I am really wanting to make this work and want really good birds This is my new hobby and I Love my Faverolles but want to have nice birds so i could possibly show or breed good stock there are no Faverolle breeders in my area so i am going to keep looking, Do you know if there will be any birds for sale at the show in Ohio? I am thinking of taking a drive to see what the nationals are all about and once again thank you.

The Pattersons are in IN, and they will probably be there. There aren't many long term breeders left.

I hate to tell you this, but unless they really change, they are not mahogany

Leisha is correct - neither of those is mahogany. They are salmons.

ok what should they look like at that age??? i am new to Mahogany's so i am all ears lol... most of the salmon males i have hatched where lighter than these at this age... I'm looking threw my pic's and this is the closest i can find... they have more of a reddish breast and reddish brown on there wings than these guys do... and the chick in this pic has a solid black breast now...

Since we are talking about mahoganies I felt like I should dig up some old pictures that are much further back in this thread. These are some Mahoganies from BuckCreekChickens (Here on BYC) and EweSheep but I believe the picture is orginally from Dick. Hope they won't mind me using them for educational purposes. I still don't know much about the BB Red color but these are some good pictures of the more fiery color of the males.
