So the breeder was outcrossing to a solid blue bird?

Also, this might help with figuring out some of the genetics, this is super fun, just remember that sometimes some other "things" can be hidden, so this isn't 100% accurate, but it can give you an idea of what you "should" get with crosses, etc....: http://kippenjungle.nl/Overzicht.htm#kipcalculator

Blue can't be hidden though. If a bird has a copy of blue it will show. Two copies of blue = splash. I think one of your hens is a blue salmon, or splash salmon. It's not always easy to tell with the girls.

The chicken genetics site is fun to play with!

Hi all!

I am just now getting into Faverolles, and I am currently in contact with a BYC member: wbanka. She's a very nice Faverolle fan who is offering me hatching eggs from her breeding flock that she imported from Canada.

Long story short, I'm interested in joining the Faverolle club, if I may. I did read in this thread that there was a Paypal account set up for membership dues, but I couldn't find more information (mostly because this thread is so ginormous

)

Does anyone have this info? I'm very excited about all of this!

Paypal account for sending in club dues is [email protected] And until we have an official count of votes, the dues are still $10 / year.

That's great that you are getting some Favs!!!

Thank you for the information

I can't wait until I am an official Fav owner
