Faverolles Thread

Glad to hear everyone is having great hatches. Just got home from SE Ohio Poultry show that had just about 1,000 birds there. Had a wonderful time and see some old friends. Only took 3 pullets with me and won Champion Featherleg. There was 101 featherlegs all together. It was a nice win and a great points day with special meets from the ABA and APA.

Congrats leisha!! I emailed you.
I had a buff orp win champ English and reserve large fowl last weekend at show. It was a small show. Just about 300. Now berate the bad part. I had half the birds in the featherleg class and still couldn't even pull out a reserve featherleg. ONCE AGAIN ....... Dang Cochins!!!

Congrats on the LF. Who was the judge on featheleg? It will come. It took me many years, but I think it is my time finally.

It was Pat Malone judging. Yeah I know but I thought with so few in the class maybe we had a better chance. Something else good was annslee's little white call duck won best of variety and he thought she was the best duck at the show but had just a touch too much black on her bill so he couldn't make her best call duck/waterfowl. And I won novice large fowl. So I can't complain.

Ok. Sorry back to the favs!!

I have a question about my Faverolles. I have one pair, they are beautiful...but I just can't for the life of me get any eggs to grow!
The rooster is doing his job, I have witnessed it and the hen's back shows the wear. I have broke multiple eggs open and they all have that pretty little bullseye.
I incubate and I have yet to get a single one even started. They are both 1 year old, they get layer feed, scratch grain, and occasional treats from the kitchen.
Why are they not making babies????

These are one of my favorite breeds of chickens, need help.

How closely related are they? How are your hatch rates on other breeds?
