Faverolles Thread

Hi All!
My Salmon Faverolle chicks hatched today. I got 13 beautiful fluffy chicks, and 1 who has it's eyes popping out of it's little head. Poor thing looks like a alien. I have never seen this before. Is the long term prognosis bad? Does anyone know why this happened? The parents are very healthy, free range, they eat GMO free feed, I give them fresh fruits and veggies, plus manna pro vitamins. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Look back on pages 1290-1291. Looks like a few other people have had this problem. Prognosis isn't good at all. Probably best to cull them.

I have seen this on a rare occasion, thankfully not this year. The prognosis is not good. I would just cull now.

I'm also looking for Faverolle chicks. If you were to have extras, would you be able to ship?

well depending on the age yout looking for I just sent some 8 week olds and they made the trip very good

Unfortunately, I agree - those don't look like any Fav chicks I've seen, especially the cockerel. It does look like someone jumped the fence. Do you have pics of their feet?

How Old are these chicks?

 

[Fancy Favie]

O' YEAH....

I Can Hardly wait

I'm looking for day-olds then, I guess, since it's not good to ship chicks until they're around eight weeks or so. I just got a few chicks from the feed store that are a couple days old, and I'll be getting a few more as they come in in the next two weeks or so. I want them to be all around they same age, so introducing them wont be problematic.
