The Faverolles are gorgeous and wonderfully odd-looking birds with muffs, a beard, feathered legs and five toes.

Hens are beautiful, with snowy breasts and fluffy white faces: their backs are a lovely honeyed salmon color with white lacing. Roosters are huge and magnificent, parading around with a virtual rainbow of colors: iridescent black where the hens are white, burnished with bronze on their backs and wings, while their hackles and saddles the color of pale straw. The chicks are creamy yellow, sometimes with a sooty smudge or two, and they are so cute with their tiny downy legs!

Male Faverolles are particularly calm and dignified, and make great roosters for the home flock since they are not usually aggressive. Our Two Roosters are Ronnie and Regan.  Very tame and calm Roos that love to be scratched and petted. .

The hens lay medium-sized creamy eggs in prolific numbers, and they are good winter layers/  They are shy and sweet-natured, but so docile that they tend to find themselves at the bottom of the pecking order in a mixed flock. Chicks can get picked on, too, so for that reason, Salmon Faverolles often need to be cared for separately until the chicks are larger.
