If you play the link for how to pronounce it they do say fav-or-roll, though its soft enough of a a 'roll' to be 'rel.'

I think it is "Faverolles" but I'm not sure.

Yea, I spelled it wrong there. Too much in a hurry.

It's French... My French teacher always told us the only consonants you pronounced in French are the ones in the word 'careful'. 'S' is not there... Now that is a general rule but is no always true. Kind of like 'i' before 'e' except after 'c'. Generally but not always.

Eta - except the first letter of the word of course!

Do you'll think that the faverolle personality is much different between the LF and the bantam?

No, the bantams are quite similar to the LF.

Thanks for your response.

I simply adore the salmon faverolles personality... And am planning on what to buy for next year.

I have decided I will have some breeder quality Faverolles, but the kids are voting for the bantams, not the LF.

I was thinking maybe seeing what breeder had the LF with closer to large size eggs (the ones I had before were not very good layers, and laid medium sized eggs).

But I haven't decided yet. I do know that I want to switch from always getting hatchery chicks, to breeding my own quality birds. But now I have to pick just a few breeds that I will work with.

I think I will end up with the bantam........

OK, rambling, thinking out loud. I Love all the Faverolles pictures you'll have been posting, total drool city!

Oh! I should have asked....just how tiny are Faverolles bantams, and how small are their eggs?

My d'uccels (I didn't spell that right did I?) are the smallest bantams i have had with super tiny little eggs. The bantam Cochins I had were much bigger, and had what I consider a 'standard' sized bantam egg.

What do you look for when picking faverolles to show and breed? Needing some advice on what birds I should take to the fair I can try and get some individual pics of each bird if you want

Pictures would make it easiest.

Otherwise...where is the breed standard? I don't have it bookmarked, but I am sure you cold find it.
