Hi, Does this breed lay pinkish eggs?

My girls have been giving me 4-6 eggs a day from 6 laying hens! We also have two feet of snow on the ground thats amazing in my book. Hope some of them go broody for me this spring.

I was curious about all of you with favorolles. I have some and was wondering how common are pure white favorolles. I have a strain of pure whites started and am working on them to get them true. Anyone out there with the whites

I believe Melissa or pasofinofarm has some hers are in a pen with salmons though. I also have a small chance of hatching a white bantam chick from some eggs I bought but that is also recessive to salmon. So I don't really have a good answer not to many people with whites that I have seen.

Jaime the only ones I've seen whites are Catapula Farms. They used to raise them but got out of them a couple years ago.

I do not know of any white Faverolle breeders.

thanks for all your answers. I havent heard of many of them either but am working with them because I think they are beautiful and different and love there personalities

Griffith hatchery in MO had whites last year. I spent months trying to get some but there was always some problem or other. I thought I'd try again this year but they've gone out of business.

That's to bad maybe ask them who they sold their flock to? Uh I think someone named Ron Patterson has a great flock of LF whites I will look for his contact info.

I have whites. I can pen and breed only whites when I am ready but right now just don't have time. I keep them because I love them and so does everyone else that has ever hatched from them. Would love to have a cockerel from you though if you have a different line and if he is very correct otherwise... I have some pics of mine on page 79 if you would like to see them.
