gongladosh Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 have never owned any but have never heard anything bad said against them! Apparently they're quite friendly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlotta Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Salmon Favorelles - Doris by *karlotta*, on Flickr Here's Doris! She's a total sweetie pie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've too have not owned any but they are at the very top of my wish list as I've always heard such lovely things about them with regard to them being friendly and sweet. They also look so pretty when I've seen them in the various shows. Are you looking to get standard or banty size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouldercroft Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 super sweet, very friendly, lovely brown eggs, can be a little broody at times my bearded lady is my favorite of the flock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I have a salmon fav. Sweetest nature, chats all the time & spreads her wings for the others to coorie under at night. Wouldn't swap her for the world. She is over 3yrs & totally hardy. All the other hens love her too. Can't go wrong with favs. Don't like being confined tho'.

LolaLayla Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 No, do not need any mums They just look so lovely and I wondered how they compared to my girls as they are very broody I do not need any more chickens but always keep a look out for potential additions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Where do people get their Faverolle from? Are they all standards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlotta Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Doris is a LF and came from Chalkhill poultry on the dorset border. I'd love some bantam favs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 ChubbyChook, my fav was a chick hatched by another omleteer in these parts. However there is a breeder in the Scottish Borders I can give you details for if you are interested. She had banties last year too. Her hens are totally beautiful.

Autumn Liz Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Poultry Park in Gloucestershire had some salmons when I looked around last week. You could give them a call http://www.poultrypark.com/index.html Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Many thanks Autumn Liz. I'm needling away at OH right now. sparkysmum . . . much as I'd love a visit to the Scottish Borders I think Gloucestershire would be easier to get to.
