Faverolles Thread

[Rare Feathers Farm]

I got ONE little chick from my horrible incubator incident (lost power for almost 6 hours, temps dropped to the low 70s in the bator and the humidity spiked to 85%!)

So with my luck, it's probably a little roo...

How is the show going?

Hey!! Just leaving. Well of course there were no other faverolles. So I was competing against myself. It was a double show and in one show they picked my cockerell and older light pullet for best and reserve and in the other they picked exact opposite. Best featherleg went to..... Wait for it..... A black Cochin and reserve went to a buff brahma who had her head chopped off and a Cornish head put on. It was identical to a Cornish head. Wasn't my favorite but I'm not the judge. On the plus side I had two people who sounded really
interested in getting some favs down the road. It was fun if nothing else!! Can't wait til next weekend!!!

I'll have three bantams - a roo, a hen, and a pullet. The hen's not much to look at - I don't think at least - but since there are so few fav people around I'd like an opinion, so, for the small price of an entry fee, I decided to bring her to have you all look at. The pullet is really nice, I think. Need more info on the roo. I can't wait to see a whole bunch there! I competed against myself, as well, and the roo got BoB. woo hoo.

I just found out that the biggest class is Featherleg and the most of anything entered is call ducks. Why wouldn't the featherleg be the biggest.
