Faverolles Thread

Thanks Keesmom. Is there any input you can give on their overall quality at this point? I will go to the APA website & see if I can get a copy. Thanks!

I personally like the solid one and i would choose that one. They say cockerels under 1 year probably don't have their true colors yet.

Thank you FVRM. I like the solid one (Sam), too. My husband kinda likes the other one. I will give them more time.

if You are going to the Modesto Show and know that there will be Faverolles there, You could wait and bring good 4 wall shots of them for the Faverolles folks to give more thoughts. Are there breeders anywhere within a few hours of You that You could contact to visit to see what they have for comparison? (BYC California thread?)
I often keep dual roosters so even after you find a few girls You may be fine after an initial adjustment.

I have an Ancona pen that has 4 Roosters and 9 hens, Bantam Favs group with 4 Roosters and 6 hens, and a mixed color pen with 3 Roosters and 8 hens…….all get along. when not breeding i pen in multi mixed groups…...

It also helps to have a backup male in case something happens to your primary.
