What a beautiful flock. Faverolles are such a lovely, gentle breed.

Yes, until they catch sight of raw meat.

Thank you.

Hi Ana, lovely birds! Thanks for sharing some pictures and thanks for joining us!

Pics I got.

Willkommen, Ana!
Beautiful flock, thanks so much for posting the link ! First time I have read a German article on chickens I’m from Frankfurt/Main but did not have chickens when I lived in Germany.

Thank you. The website the article is on is from a Faverolles breeder, but an extremely informative general chicken website.

I wanted a heritage breed that was native to Germany and came across the German Faverolles. I even found a breeder not too far away, but he did not have any extra pullets at the time. I started looking everywhere, even France, to no avail. But luckily my first breeder went through another selection and was able to give me 5 salmon Faverolles and one white Faverolles. That was 2 years ago

There were some Salmon German Faverolles at the Italian national poultry show in December. Three breeders showed them, two were listing theirs for sale in the €60 to €70 range. The best in breed winning rooster was going for €70. If you're interested, send my a private message, I can send you the names and contact numbers of those breeders. One is in Udine, just a 5 hour drive from Munchen. The other two are near Milan and Torino. (oh, I just saw you're from an hour north of Trier, so it's more like a 10 hour drive to Udine!)

I posted one at the top of this post. The other two in the post are French Favorelles.

Thank you for the information, Gargoyle. I was able to get some from the local breeder, luckily, and now have a mixed color flock. Since they are only for me, I don't need show quality and get by with €20 birds. Plus, as you noticed, 10 hours is a bit far.

But it's an excuse to go to Italy! ( however, not this week. It's about to get cold and snowy there.)

Spring/summer is definitely more appealing. If I could hibernate, I think I would.

Hello, Ana, and a late welcome to BYC! I some how missed you when you introduced yourself 3 months ago. Sorry.
I intentionally chose a Salmon Faverolles for my flocks cockerel. So far he is working out great! A few minor lapses in judgement on his part when he thought flogging me would be a fine idea but nothing serious. Here he is at 6.5 months old.
