Faverolles Thread

[Cloverleaf Farm]

Hey everybody,
Good luck with all the hatching that must be going on.

I have just put together a final pen for season.

Rupert (SimmasticXSimmie)


Rumm (RupertXSimmie)


can't remember name i gave her... (RupertXBritgirl)


Two of these. Identical, so no need to do two.. (ArthurXMy Girl)


Two daughters. One REAL tight just to see and two nieces. As the females all came from other active pens I will have to wait three weeks before this breeding will be viable. That'll be about right.
Black/blue pen is now complete with 1 blk male, 2 blk females and 3 blue females. This is a VERY promising group.
With the three salmon pens complete all 14 females are in pens and they are bred to compliment future breeding within the pens.

All these pens, all these eggs and I'm not even hatching this year. Talk about things that make ya go hmm.....

Have fun with your faverolles.

Peter

Wow Peter...Rupert is AMAZING!!!

I'm far from an expert but no one else answered so maybe if I try to answer they'll chime in
But I would say since they're already under the broody just leave them. A broody doesn't turn eggs *near as much as an automatic egg turner so I'm sure they'll be ok.

I just got 2 roos and a hen of the bantum variaty and was wondering wen they will lay and you know wen the roos will do their "THANG" Please reply

Even through they are not pure bred, what do you think of them? they were hatched March 11th from my EE Roo and Salmon Faverolle Hens!

actually studies have shown a hen will turn eggs up to 50 times a day... just thought you might like to know

really? wow. My cochin mama is very serious about her eggs- she bites real hard, so i hope she does a good job!

love the ee/fav cross, be interesting to watch and see how they develop
