Faverolles Thread

Peter,
Thank you; I'm very happy and proud of how well they did at the show.
I met Sam at the show and he was most gracious. I'm glad he liked the Fav's. I'll try to take a few pictures that will do them justice. Any suggestions on how to capture that? Did you scroll back too see the pics of them?

Yep BuckcreekChickens is the only source she said her Male now has good fertility and so there may be egg from them soon.

I have a friend in Eastern Oregon that is working on Mahoganies, though it is still VERY project stage. But once she gets somewhere with it, I'll let everybody know!

Thank you, that would be wonderful.

Thank you for spending the time to type everything up for me. I've re-read the articles on your site a few times too, just to make sure I'm not forgetting anything.

It's the size that is difficult to capture. The roo's weight about 12 pounds and the hens about 8-9, so they are pretty large. I'm only 5'2" so that is no comparision there..LOL

Holy crow thats big HMM A yard stick or maybe a 5 or 10 gallon bucket in the background? I am 6'1 and I had bantams so there was never a size comparison problem ha ha

Wow, that's on par with my Sussex. And they're about the largest birds I've seen. My LF salmons are only 2/3 the size.

My two JG hens both reached ten lbs. A friend of mine had a brahma roo that hit 17 lbs!


chita - My white JG came from a man in Ontario - I have his card around here somewhere - and she is a monster! He had a bunch of beautiful birds at the Ohio National this year. There's good birds up there as far as I'm concerned!

Sounds like the type of photo session a college student might enjoy ha ha.

Those do have the true asiatic head its so obvious when you look at them it smaks you in the face even if I haven't ever bred Cochins I can tell thats how they should be.

You make me wish I had grown up in the poultry hay day. It seem there just isn't the intrest there used to be in exhibition poultry. I hope that the 4-H program I am starting with someone else up in VT will really get kids interested in seriously showing chickens and specifically Faverolles instead of just their dairy cattle.
