You still have the splash boy? I thought you placed him. Has he started crowing yet?

hcammack, how nice they are laying. Faverolles were developed to be good winter layers, how nice it's holding true for you; you must be doing things right.

Yup they are laying not as much as the Ameraucana girls who are on light. I got 4 Ameraucana eggs today

But I have been getting one or two eggs from my faverolles every day.

Here are some funny pictures from today. Their eggs are being sent out for test hatching tommorow! The splash cockeral found a new home today! These are the funniest friendliest little birds.

They always have to know what I am up to

Henry .. love your birds! I don't know how I missed this thread.

I went to pick up some eggs back in September. I wanted Marans and Ameraucana eggs .. there was some mix up and when I got there, she had sold the Marans eggs .. so we walked out to the SF house and picked up 4 fresh eggs that she threw in with my Amer. eggs for the trouble.

All 4 eggs hatched .. and they are now my favorite breed .. I've not given another thought to Marans .. *wink*

Problem is I only have ONE pullet .. I should name her Pringle .. 'case I can't have just ONE .. LOL (I know, I know .. it was really Lays potato chips .. I think .. but I'm NOT naming her Lays .. Bwa ha ha ha)

anyway .. they will be 11 weeks old on Thursday .. And I love love love them!!

I won't bore you with 100 or so other baby and teenage pics .. *grin*

looks like you got a mahogany fav there. what is that white one in front of your pullet? is that a white fav or something else? are your's LF or bantams?

here's my Chloe, my Easter chickie (hatched 4/12/09)

Thanks Henry .. I was just on your website. My "egg goal" is eggs.actly what you have. Some tinted, some blue/green, some brown. I only have the one Ameraucana Roo and am thinking about just ordering a pullet run from Ideal .. I know they'll be EEs, but it's really just the eggs I'm after.

SFs on the other hand, I would kinda like to keep good quality. I don't know what to think about the White Roo. I haven't dug into SF genetics enough to know what he is. Has to be recessive .. as she didn't have any white breeding age birds (that I saw). I'm keeping him, because I like him .. lol. (We'll see how long THAT lasts..) I'm thinking about getting some more eggs from her, or have her do a custom hatch for me so I can get some more birds from her line.

At any rate, I think they are dorky, personable, PRETTY, chunky, easy going birds .... and I LOVE them!!

Mine are LF .. she IS dark, huh? so it's really mohogany? or just a dark salmon? I'm clueless. The white roo is a fav also .. from the same hatch. He's a real dork .. I love him.

Here is is trying to figure out how to get back in the run ... dummy!

Love those feathers on Chloe's feet.. hehe​
