Speaking of whites, does anyone have them in LF? (I must be crazy, considering the work involved in preparing a white LF bird for a show!)

In the what am I breed section this chick was originally called a Salmon Faverolle. Just wanted to check with the experts to see if this still stands. I'm thinking it's a she and her name is Ophelia she's 9 weeks old today.

Here is her baby pics

No. I don't think so. Maybe a white sultan?

Are you looking for birds or eggs? I have a recessive white rooster on white-carrying salmon hens. I get quite a few whites out of the pairing. I should have eggs once it cools down, and maybe chicks next spring.

I got some newer pictures of the girl. I am really loving this breed. We were originally not keeping either, then just one, now they are both staying!

Hmmm thanks. Guess I'll have to wait till she gets older. I found it hard to find pics of chicks during their akward stage. Thanks so much.

I'm looking for birds. I wish I could have a breeding program, but right now the only thing I can do is show my birds. Mainly this is because I have no way to get rid of extra birds, especially roosters. I was lucky when I did hatch a couple of clutches that I could find homes for all of them, but chicks are easier. I have some nice-looking birds right now that I have offered for several weeks now, and can't find homes for them. So, I feel like I might be wasting that white gene because I could only show the girls, and not breed them. I only have a bantam rooster, and I'm lucky he's pretty quiet so my neighbors don't mind. I don't think that would happen with a LF roo. Thank you so much!

Speaking of the gene, what is the difference between recessive white and white-carrying? Or, are they that same?

We are now proud parents of White favs and blue salmon favs and we are in LOVE!!! Very loving and mild natured birds.
