Zoomie, you can, in general,tell the difference between boys and girls as babies. They aren't sex-linked though.

I see - well that is cool, you see, I thought the color pattern looked similar to what you see in the Salmon Faverolles, which can actually be sexed at a pretty early age as small chicks. That is what made me wonder.

That makes the breed doubly cool. Beautiful patterning in the feathers, dual purpose *and* relatively easy sexing.

Hello from Los Lunas!

Wow! So exciting to see so many from NM here! Been here at BYC for a while but stopped keeping chickens for a few years while hubby was in school. Now that he's out, there's no stopping the kids and I!

We have a fun little variety (a few EEs, delawares, a Cochin, barred rocks, and some others lol) 15 total

I'm hoping to get my hands on some blues either hatching eggs or chicks anybody know of any in the state?

Hi All... I'm looking for local folks who might have Faverolles. I live in the East Mountains outside Albuquerque. Thanks!

I am south of Carlsbad and I think I have a rooster...I have 2 three month old Silkie showgirls that I need to re-home. I believe one is a rooster and the other a hen. Gorgeous jet black one I believe is rooster and a tiny petite partridge is hen....judging by the poofs on top of heads and combs. Let me know if you are interested.
And anyone else interested let me know!

@ThistleCroft15 do you have Faverolles? That's a breed I was interested in, but could not find any in the state. I finally settled on Svart Hönas and Barnevelders.

The Barnevelder people in the state (well - all that we know about, anyway) have started a sort of private message chat where we can share tips and things with each other. Maybe the Faverolles people could do that too? I bet you guys would have fun with that. That is a very cool breed of chicken!

I do not have Faverolles. I have a white Silkie and her 4 babies that she hatched. I just adopted 2 Easter eggers. I just ordered 12 eggs from Blue House Farm in NC, 3 barnevelders, 3 Lavender ameracanas, 3 Crested Cream Legbars and 3 Swedish Flower.
I am trying to find homes for my 2 Silkie showgirl babies, 3 months old, 1 jet black and 1 partridge.
