Faverolles Thread

[Rock N' Faverolles]

Hi all.

I wanted to drop by and update you again. I have been so busy that I haven't had time to post on here. It's raining today, so I found a little break. As of now, I have 20 faverolles chicks on the ground and another 53 eggs in the incubator and I plan on hatching out another 100 large fowl and then I'll just hatch bantams until fall. I have Large: Salmon, White, Black, and Blue and bantams: Salmon, White, Black, Blue, Buff, and Blue Salmon. I just got my large brooder somewhat working so now I can hatch a lot more out at once. For those of you that don't know, I also have quite a few other breeds so I hatch a bunch. Right now I probably only have about 350 to 400 chicks on the ground and 150 ducklings. Plus I have about 400 eggs in the bator and I have two more incubators I don't even have running yet. I can't wait until fall when I get into full swing. I like to hatch my large fowl birds out from November to March and then just hatch bantams so they have plenty of time to grow. Usually I never hatch Large birds this late in the year. On a side note, I am looking forward to attending the Faverolles national meet this year in Illinois and hope to see some of you there. Well, I had better get back to work.

Hi David! I'm glad to see you have blue bantams too. Mine will be arriving in another 10 days when Henry brings them up. I'm going to stick with bantam blues and LF salmons. That's enough to keep me busy. I can't imagine 400 chicks, and another 400 on the way!​

I love the buff color and I wish that it was still around in LF I really want to work on that later on I would love some buff bantams though.

Something I noticed recently is the BBS eggs are a few shades darker then my salmon eggs. Do you think that this is because of the orphan blood in them or just because my set up and Leisha are different. Its not a huge difference but its noticeable. Leisha and Dick is there the same difference in your eggs?

Okay. I probably won't have any chicks to sell until early spring though. But then I'll be happy to ship chicks. I plan on recreating the large buffs as well, but that project won't be started until the fall. I may work on the cuckoo's as well.

I also want to say that the majority of Faverolles I have in large and bantam all seem to lay a much darker brown egg than the called for 'tinted' color.
