Favorelles?

[Kristinadukhin]

We bought two salmon favorelle chicks about 5 weeks ago. One looks like it but the other is pretty much white. I only have one picture right now. Can someone help me out? They both have the furry feet.

Well, white faverolles do happen lol! They both are faverolles as far as I can see, the one is a definite and the white one appears to have 5 toes so i'd say you've got a white one. Lucky!

One Salmon Favorelle, and one other. Maybe a mix, or another color?

Any way you could get a little bit better pictures? Especially of the white one?

Yes both of the birds have 5 toes and both have furry feet and they had very fluffy cheeks when they were younger. So I think they are both favorelle. But I read that white favorelle are rare? So I'm not sure how that happened. I got them at a local runnings.

I'm out of town, my husband is taking care of them but I'll ask him to try to get a better one when he's home from work! I'l update it then. Thank you!

A better picture would be necessary to really be certain, but a White Faverolle is very possible and sounds likely with your description of the bird. It is a recessive that pops up on occasion in the Salmon flocks. I used to have white birds hatch out of my Spangled Russian Orloffs, and mottled birds hatch out of my Red Dorkings. It seems surprising, but it is actually not that uncommon.
