Faverolles Thread

[keesmom]

Hi, I've got 5 faverolles, 2 salmon, 2 white, and 1 cross faverolles, all of them are 2 weeks old.
My question is how to find out the gender on whites, I know how to on salmons, but I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere. Hope someone can help me, love this site!

Hi there!

On the whites you will have to wait until they are 5 or 6 weeks old. Or if some seem to be feathering in REALLY slowly it's a cockerel.

Okay, Thanks.

Here are some pictures of one of only two pullets I have decided to keep for next year breeders. I do have some new blood chicks growing out, but they are only two months and haven't even looked them over yet.

Please feel free to give me very honest criticisms about her. She is 4.5 months old, so I still expect her to widen, but she is slimmer then I would like. I do like her feathering and posture. Tor placement and leg feathering is fine.

please let me know what you think!

Yesterday I noticed my best looking cockerel has a crooked neck. I think he got piled on in the pen and injured it. I don't want to risk it in case it's genetic so he will be going to the freezer. You can only tell he's abnormal when he drinks water.

Buff faverolles?

Yes. The UK has salmon, white, blue, black, buff, cuckoo and ermine. The article has pictures of salmons, buffs and cuckoos.

My cockerels are still in their ugly phase. How old are these?
