Faverolles Thread

Not sure if the variety has its own name, but the breeder I got them from is working on establishing a line with that darker cinnamon color. I personally really like the crisp contrast between the light colored breast and the darker colored back.

I would love to tell you who this wonderful breeder is, just not sure if it is ok to post other people's names, even if to give them credit? I will say that his birds took a lot of prizes in Canada this fall.

if the show results are posted online somewhere you can always post those! i'm sure the person's name would be listed on there!

Ok guys I did a bit of adding here the shame is that I cannot post the pictures into the thread we will see if I can figure out how soon but without pictures some of this stuff if useless. Basically its just a lot of stuff Dick and Peter have said ha ha. I had some others that other people had but they all had pictures.

Thanks for the photos Hannah do you know who the other birds belonged to?

I like the second two bantams a lot. The hen could use a blockier build but her color is better then the first one in my opinion.

Not sure about the LF though I wish there beards were in so we could see them.

Yes now that I look at it the second male bantam also appears to have vulture hocks. Thats a big problem. Thats probably why I like hen 2 better I noticed it on the first hen but didn't say anything.

What are vulture hocks? Does it have to do with the angle of the leg feathers?
