I hope you want BOY faverolles. I have 5 boys and 2 girls, and I'm keeping the girls. I probably won't even be able to give away the boys, but I can always hope!

well i do need a back up.
still need more hens though
i have my boy, so i bought eggs and hatched 10 sold 5, shortly after 3 died and i end up with a pair, i think, one is blue i didnt expect that new with these so not so sure what it is, i assume its a he, but i dont want blue, so need more eggs, where did you get your eggs?

I got them from pasofinofarm. I ended up with 3 black boys and 2 blues. I like the blue, so I'm keeping 1 blue boy and praying that my neighbors can deal. I'll bring him in at night if I have to.

oh this farms eggs are mixed then,meaning some blue in pen some salmon, or did you order half blue half salmon?
what state did they come from?

They were advertized as salmon/blue salmon: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=51588. They are from TX. The 3 boys with black wings should be pure salmons though, right? Otherwise they would show blue?

sounds like they come from great stock, i just cant imagine paying that much for 12 eggs, how many did you hatch did you say7? not too bad,cant wait to see them, they are my favorite kind of roo, would love one to have loose in the yard but everyone beats on the one i have now, so i will be looking for you!!
and you thought you wouldnt be able to rid yourself of roos

Also, if you keep the dogs and burgers frozen, then no one will have to worry about waste if you put in a jug of frozen water (then you can drink your water as it thaws, lol.

I hatched 8 but I lost 1 because I stupidly filled the brooder too full with shavings so the chicks were too close to the heat lamp and it got too hot. I learned my lesson the hard way.

Can't wait for next Sunday!
