"Roo" is an unfortunate slang term for a male chicken.  The correct terms are cock and cockerel.  A cock is a male chicken approximately a year old.  A cockerel is a male chicken under a year.


FYI - to those who hope to get serious with any breed: say "roo" to a professional breeder/exhibitor, and their eyes will glaze over.  They won't take you seriously unless you use the correct terminology.  BYC has gotten a bad rep with the serious breeders because of all the people using the term "roo." You'll never see that word on any of the sites the professionals hang out in.  If you're not comfortable using "cock," say "cockbird."   I'll admit, it took me a bit to get used to it, but that is the correct term.  Has been since the chicken was domesticated thousands of years ago.  

I'm sure you have already read this.. But just in case some of you have not, enjoy.. Happy Saturday

Here's my new salmon faverolle chick. Got it yesterday. I call her peaches. She's a cutie! Hopefully getting more chicks next year.

Are there any Faverolles breeders in the Southeast Pennsylvania area?

Not exactly, but I'm about 1/2 hour north of Harrisburg.

Thanks - I have read it, but it was great to see it again. A book that expands on this concept, and it a great source of chicken lore to dazzle non-chicken people, is The Chicken Book, by Paige Smith.

I know there are a few of you here that are in NC. Please consider signing this petition against the forced requirement of every backyard poultry keeper to obtain a NC farm ID number with the "claim" that it will prevent the spread of AI.

Hello, this is my first year with Bantams Salmon Faverolles and I would appreciate some honest opinions about these birds. Also, is their any specific pages that mention breeding Salmon Faverolles?

These are the three roosters (cockerels technically) which I am presently holding on too for breeding out of potentially. The forth rooster pictured is the cockerel witch I am hoping to sell, I do not care for his comb as much as his "brothers".

​

Here are a few pictures of my girls (pullets), I have five hens but will likely only hang onto 4 as one has a side-spring.

Which cockerel are you not keeping? The bottom right? I wouldn't keep him either, he has split wing. The last pullet looks to have it as well.
