Faverolles Thread

YAAAAAAAAAY, after 4 solid months of not laying a single freakin egg, the starts have mysteriously re-aligned and my faverolles are right back in the saddle.

It's the middle of winter, and they're both laying an egg a day, roughly. Weird and silly birds.

this shows the strange lacing the mahogany roo had instead of a solid black pattern, I was unsure where to progress from here with them, since it was both attractive and incorrect.

off topic but I had to sneak them in, this is my sebbie trio

How funny that we often must choose pretty anomalies over sop. And those Sebs are nice. PM me details on them please.
I still didn't hear what a poultry congress is like. It would be interesting to see who shows. I might bring another off topic bird there depending on who has what to say about it.
 
quick question, a couple days ago Sammy began sneezing, i put him on tetracycline and the sneezing has cleared up, but he seems pretty tired- do faverolles respond different to meds? if so, what ou what would be a good alternative for 'colds' here is a pic of him today, he is also molting- might that be part of the lethargy?

From what I've seen, molting can be hard on chickens. It can cause them to become tired, and some of mine tend to spend more time off to themselves instead of with the flock. Last year one of my pullets had a rough molt. She stayed in the nest box almost all the time, for a couple of weeks. This year I had a young hen that molted, and bless her heart, she looked awful, but she ran with the flock everywhere they went! A real trooper! This summer my French Marans roo molted. He did ok....didn't seem himself, but could've been worse.

Poultry Congress is a yearly poultry show in West Springfield, Mass. Have heard alot of nice things about this show, so we decided to go this year.

Thanks, maybe that is whats going on, will add some extra protien and see if that helps- his behavior reminds me of my Duccle hen, she just sits around slee[ping when molting
