Ok since I was so tired I will answer this question in more detail now.
I don't have any Faverolles right now. The major lines are Dick Boulanger, Peter Merlin, and Ron Patterson. They are the major breeders of LF salmons and whites in the country today.
There are many different things that you have to look for in a Faverolles especially in the salmon variety. This makes them a great challenge in the breeding pen. You have to consider beard and muff size and layout (has to be three parts). Toes placement Faverolles have 5 toes and the fifth needs to be upward and straight back. We need to consider the leg feathering as well. We also have to look at the overall Faverolles type which is very unique and hard to describe. Very large birds with deep keels and breasts and strong heads. Basically just strong faverolles type which can take years to see and years to achieve in your flock.
The salmons color is also very complex. Some problems that have been occurring are salmons females with two tone coloring instead of pure brown salmons or pink salmon. Salmon cockerels need to have mahogany in the wingbows and you need hens that are darker then needed to produce the mahogany in the wings. We are working on creating good cockerel lines instead of just good pullet lines.
Faverolles are also in very limited numbers so we are working on improving overall quality as well as increasing the numbers of people who keep Faverolles.
The difficulty of breeding Faverolles for me is outweighed by the extrem beauty and wonderful personality. They are some of the gentlest birds I have ever come across. They require extreme dedication because of the difficulty of breeding them to standard. To breed great Faverolles you need to be a great breeder and know your standard by heart. We need more dedicated Faverolles breeders.
