Hi Elite Silkies,
White Faverolles are very rare faverolles as a breed are quite rare with salmon being the most common and being carried in some hatcheries. White is very hard to find and good whites without a salmon or wheaten base which will make them appear to have a tinge of yellow or salmon coloring will be very hard to find. Are you thinking of getting some white favs they are beautiful and I am sure they have the great fav personalities even though they are not salmons. The only people that I know of who have good silver gene white bantams are Dick and Leisha. David also has some whites those are the people I know with white favs but there are probably a few others. LF white faverolles are also hard to find Pasofino has some but heres are mostly wheaten based as the sire will usually be a salmon or blue salmon rooster so they would take a few generation to get the salmon coloring out of them. Ron Patterson probably has the best LF whites around if Dick has some his are also pretty good. I think there should be some interest in white faverolles if you get good ones I feel like interest in Faverolles in a breed is growing again to spite the economy other poultry fanciers are realizing what an amazing breed the faverolles is.

Thanks Henry! I think they did come from Pasofinofarms, she said she got the eggs from a breeder in Houston. Here's some pics of two of them.

I think there are basically two types of white that result from a WhiteX salmon breeding wheaten based white where the yellowing or salmon tinge will come in later in life these can be used to produce chicks with less and less yellowing. Then there are salmon whites that show the yellow or wheaten from the very beginning. With that pair you could breed a few generations and get better and better whites. Faverolles are amazing birds so you will fall in love with them and keep breeding them. With work they can produce good whites Melissa (pasofino's) flock certainly has the type to produce good favs in both Blue salmon salmon and white. She just lost her white fav rooster this spring.
