I'm new to faverolles and I have 7 little roos. They are still young. I only want to keep 2. My question is what should I be looking for. The colors are just all over the place. And I'm just not sure. Thanks

photos might help

has any ever had a rooster develop double spurs? I trimmed my rooster's spurs a few months ago and he is going to a new home soon so I brought him in to trim them again before leaving and I notice on one leg he has a second spur forming just below the main one?  

I have never seen one with double spurs. Can you get a pic?

Hello Faverolle owners! When did your Faverolle hens start to lay eggs? Mine are 17 1/2 weeks! Checking for an egg everyday

I wouldn't expect to see an egg for at least another month or 2 even if they are from a hatchery.

How old are they? What are your plans for your flock? Unless they have obvious glaring faults- extra toes/nails, side sprigs, split wing -you may want to wait until they are at least 6 months old to make your first cuts. Cockerels are messy colorwise for a long time. But type is more important.

My daughter want to show them. The only thing I see so far is one has a very small beard compared to the other ones.

Oh and they are around 10 to 12 weeks is my guess I bought them on Craigslist and the breeder couldn't remember when exactly they hatched

They are squatting when I reach for them, one girl has a bigger comb recently and waddle and it's RED, dark red. I also noticed that their vents bulge a bit more than before. I try to get a once over a few times a week for monitoring health (vent, feathers, feet etc )
