My partridge Faverolles trio,

That's not partridge, unless Australia has a different definition of partridge than the US...do you know if that is the case? I have never seen Favs, or any other birds colored just like that...it's interesting. Thanks for sharing the pics!

The male reminds me of a red pyle.

My partridge Faverolles trio,

lovely color, would not mind some of those myself if they breed true (although I know that is impossible)... not American or European Partridge though

My Salmon Faverolles Rooster and his girls,

For coloring (and body shape), the brown bird top left looks like my Partridge Chanteclers. Looks like you might have a Black Australorp tail left of the brown bird. I guess for you, that is a "native" species

Your birds are lovely.....With all the interest in Faverolles we are seeing lots of newly developed colorations as well as a strengthening of breed for its breeds purpose....In the U.S. we do have a different understanding of what Partridge color would be, more consistant brown with an even lacing.

I have a male that i have kept for fun that is a product of a hatchery hen and a crele cross of an unknown hen and a Barnevelder. He has standard Salmon markings but the non white/cream areas are completely bared in grey, even his beard....decent conformation, 5 toes.

Do I understand that You are from out of the U.S.? Please share more of the color varieties that are more common to You.

Hi guys! Thanks for asking about me. We are in one piece, although we still don't have power. Birds were visibly shaken by the storm - the first time I've noticed this after a weather event, although they seemed better today and yesterday. I am at another chicken friend's house for a couple of days, to get warm and enjoy some electricity and Internet. I never realized how much I loved my blow-dryer until I didn't have it! Supposed to have power back on Wednesday, but with this new storm coming, who knows?

We did use the fireplace, but it just didn't keep the house warm enough, so this morning I dropped my mom off to take a flight to Houston to stay at my brother's for a week. With her gone, I asked the neighbors to watch my birds, grabbed the dog, and headed towards the light in Hackettstown, NJ. Going to head home Wednesday to re-pack, and then get ready to go out to the Ohio National this coming weekend - this new storm better not get in my way! I need to get away from here.

The shore (I'm about five miles inland from Sandy Hook, but grew up going to the many towns and attractions) is devastated, and we know people who had near-death misses, and have completely lost their homes. One is actually missing! A house around the corner from me was split in two by a large tree, and there were roads blocked everywhere you turned. The shore will never be the same - it's so very sad, and I feel I don't have the right to complain about the mere inconvenience of being cold and having to wait on line for gas.

Glad to hear others in the storm's path came through relatively unscathed. It's a good lesson to be prepared for the next one, and to be thankful for what we have.

Glad Too that You are fine !, This is the kind of event that no one can truly prepare for....Even if You have generators and the supplies to hunker down for awhile, if the whole house and neighborhood is wiped out...almost wonder about having several friends around the area ane/or storage lockers to store at least some food and safety/warmth supplies....eliz

Yes, excellent idea - don't put all your eggs in one basket, hehehe! We have such a plan in action ourselves...
