I am getting in to the lovely birds and I am wondering what everyone things about my start up birds there parents came from Tennessee and we're show birds but I still am having issues finding the standards for them so.............. here I am asking

If you want the Faverolles standard you will have to order the Standard of Perfection from the APA. It's $59 for the most recent edition. The first 20-30 pages contain additional helpful information pertaining to all breeds (DQs, what to look for in structure, etc). It's a worthwhile investment.

Some of the pullets' under fluff has a slight blueish hue.

It should range from light to dark grey so what you are seeing is normal.

My heart has been ripped to pieces today.
I have heard lots of warnings about predators on the loose so I have been locking up my girls every night. I came home late today and when I went out to count chickens and collect eggs, I noticed CheepCheep was missing. I looked down and saw her lifeless body.
******* ripped out her organs and took off with her head. I'm so devastated.

I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you. That happended to one of our Cucko Marans last month and it is so terrible. They are like family.

Are anyone else's Faverolles light-weights? My birds have constant access to high quality food but are pretty slim overall.

Mine has a pretty small frame that she makes up for in fluff. But I see her eating out of the feeder when everyone else is ranging! She puts out a lot of small, narrow, chalky pink eggs though, so I don't mind that she's small
