Lost my favorite hen queen Mrs piggy today

Rest peacefully, Mrs. Piggy I just read your postings on the emergency board. So so sorry for your loss. Did you get the necropsy results? I found that to be helpful but it still hurts. Hugs from California.

Hi all!

I would love to get a bunch of Salmon Favorelles (standard) this coming Spring. I'm close to Sandhill Preservation but unsure of their quality and a little concerned about getting straight run. Has anyone gotten Salmon Favorelles from them? Or does anyone know of someone who breeds them? In a perfect world I'd get a bunch of pullets and one roo. And of course, they'd be the lovely cream color I admire!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

I have two salmon faverolles pullets in a small mixed flock - they are inseparable! Anyone else have this experience?

I have two also raised about a month apart but since the younger one joined the flock the hang out alot. But generally the older one hangs with me and my oldest polish

I had SF from mcmurrays 30 years ago. Big, heavy, beautiful birds. I'm growing Malines, barbezieux, fr.BC Marans, & getting bresse next. SF are on my list, so looking for breeders on West Coast.(Sac valley). Getting away from heavy dual purpose birds to best eating. As a side bar does anyone know what copper eggers are?

Had to share this - these girls really are attached at the hip.

So cute! I lost mine recently and seeing everyone's happy Favs makes me smile, albeit it's a little bittersweet.

I have 2 faverolles chicks they are about 4 weeks old. I think they are both girls...

Are you sure they are a month old? If so they are really slow to feather. I can't see the second well, but the first could go either way. At this point I would lean towards cockerel. Body/leg feathers will be a better indicator.
