Faverolles Thread

[Firefly89]

All right all experts out there. What are the most important features you look for in a salmon faverolle? I'm looking at a couple different pairs and having trouble trying to decide which is better. What should I be looking for most? Any pics would be great too.

And I did make sure everything in the running has the correct number of toes.

I'm far from an expert but one place to start is to look over Peter's website. He has a printable breeder's grading paper you can print out to evaluate the birds.

How old are they anyway? If they're young it may be difficult to evaluate them, especially the males. They change a LOT.

One of the options is younger and obviously changing but the other two pairs are mature. But they look sooooo similar. I'm definitely going to print that!

are they from a breeder?

 

[Firefly89]

Two of the sets are from one breeder. The other is from a guy who found them from a woman who bred but idk that I would call her a breeder. And even the others I'm not sure if it's an "official" breeder. They ate not easily found in my area
