I have three (twelve-week-old) chicks that all seem to have overgrown nails on their silly thumbs - is this normal? Should I trim them? Will they keep growing and get out of control?
Soooo..... Today I figured out that one of my Salmon Favorelle chicks is a roo. I don't usually keep roos due to the aggressiveness. They lady I purchased him from said she will take him back and refund me; but, she doesn't keep roos either and she will fatten him up and cull and feed to her...
I feel like I’m posting on this topic way more than I should 🤦♀️ I have four newbies, one blue red laced Wyandotte, one lavender Cochin, one lavender Orpington, and one salmon favorolle. They are four months old, I put the Wyandotte in a local poultry show as a pullet, and they said she was a...
This post is to gauge interest and hopefully find some helpful resources.
I'm in the process of possibly filing for divorce (not definite yet).
When I look at future housing options it looks like it may be difficult to find a place that will let me bring my 3 sweet feather babies with me.
I'm...
I just hatched five Salmon Favorelles from my two male/female birds. This baby is the only one with chipmunk type pattern. Does this indicate gender? Is it normal? Mom could have possibly been bred by a different rooster but it's highly unlikely. The other babies were all born solid buff and all...
Hi! We have four alleged pullets which were all allegedly hatched on April 1 and 3 (so about 9 weeks ago). The Jubilee Orpington (JO), Barred Rock (BR), and Salmon Faverolle (SF) all were picked up when they were allegedly 10-12 days old, but I really have some doubts that the SF was as old as...
I have a 3 week old Salmon Faverolle, I'm thinking it's a boy, but I need confirmation. It's from a breeder, who has very nicely colored SF, so the odds of it being a dark female IMO are slim but still holding out hope it's a hen. Thoughts?
I purchased some assorted bantams from my local feed store. I didn't actually pick them out but I was supposed to get 2 frizzles. So far only one is frizzling , while the other is ... Not. I have no idea what it is. It has 5 toes so maybe a silkie mix but there is no crest or blue "lobes"...
Hey yall! I'm Alex, nice to meetcha 😀
Rocky Road the Fibro EE, Cassiopeia the Prairie Bluebell Egger and Pantera the Ayam Cemani.
Fairly new chicken mama here (we got our first chicks back in February) who is just starting to dip my toes into breeding, so I've come to this forum to learn as...
Top two are Salmon Faverolles (left: pullet; right: cockerel). Middle right is Faverolle cockerel, rest are Sapphire Gem pullets. Taken when they were 4-5 weeks old. Though Faverolle pullet seems to be 1-2 weeks older than the rest. Purchased at the same time. She grew much quicker than the others.
I have a 3mo old Salmon Faverolle who is limping and has a black circle scab on her foot. I am a first time chicken mum, should I take her to the vet? It looks like she’s in pain and I’ve been spraying the vetericyn on her injury twice a day and cleaned out her bedding area. What should I do?
Hi all,
I have a 1-year-old salmon Faverolles hen. Today I noticed that her comb seemed to have a more bluish/purplish color than normal. I looked through some photos from a few days ago (more specifically the 12th) and she had a bluish comb then too, I just didn’t notice it. It looks like it...
I purchased her thinking she was a Salmon Favorelle pullet back in March, however now I’m wondering if she is a salmon, and if she is even a she! I am definitely no expert on this however when I see other videos and pictures of a salmon at this age they already have a beard/muff. My son also...
I was given 3 Salmon faverolle chicks today, and I'm new to chickens still. It's my first time dealing with this breed. The lady told me they are all roosters. That is why she didn't want them. She raises chickens all kinds. She knows her stuff. It's me doubting lol hoping I got one hen. Not...
I have been reading that young SF chick pullets can be varied in color and have no tail feathers. So I am hoping this 6-week chick is a pullet, but I’m wanting feedback. She does have some dark areas, but I don’t know if I would say they are “black”. No black on her chest. Her wings are layered...
Hey everyone, I am desperately needing to find great homes for some roosters!! I have one Speckled Sussex (13 weeks), two Salmon Faverolles (17-18 weeks), and one Splash Ameraucana (17-18 weeks). I love them all and wish I could keep them, but unfortunately in my town I’m not allowed to have...
