Don't blame you there. BBS is way easier. But it'll be so worth it in the end.

College in 3 years not enough time to work with it. So bbs is quicker. I need to find good blue and splash now.

Yep are your parents going to take care of your flock? My parents have kindly agreed to keep the BBS Faverolles for me until I either take them up for college or finish up with college.

Henry, what about the salmon/blue salmon? I really loved them.

All of my Salmons have gone to live with Dick Boulanger who is a great faverolles breeder and the blue salmons went out to Cloverleaf on the west coast. I wish I had room but the Blues and blacks need much more help then the salmon and blue salmon colors and anyway I have always been a sucker for BBS. I will PM you some pictures of the birds so not to disrupt the thread anymore. I just love the lobes and the delicate body type on the rosecombs. They are just so refined and pretty my faverolles are more like little chunks

After college I will get back into other colors like salmons, blue salmon, white, and buff

This is why I am going to a college thats 25 minutes away from me (that is IFI get accepted!) then hopefully transferring to main campus after two years.

Here's my splash rosecomb male. He wasn't molting in the pictures, but he has no tail right now haha~

He is so pretty!! Hannah, I just love him and his comb. Ya know, I was thinking... I would really like to see your pullet #2 and maybe another Rick girl paired up with Sgt. Pepper. He may not look like much now but, I bet his big lobes and comb will mesh well with them and, sometimes, an outcross really gives you some great stuff. I hatched some dynomite birds from my Rick hen to Sgt. Pepper's son and I have 4 Katherine Plumer pullets coming up now that I will be putting to him... It's worth it, I think to bring in some genetic diversity as well.. .. That way, two years from now, you will have some new blooded pullets to put to your Rick roo

Then, the magic will happen

I wanted to share this pic. I called them the brat pack. One roo I sold to Bacres.. the other I sold to another young guy at the swap. So, the brat pack is now broken

I miss them lootin and shootin like a pack of pit bulls runnin through my yard

and here's my pullet from that Rick hen crossed to my Sgt. Pepper II
