Salmon Faverolles Day Old Chicks
Salmon Faverolles Chickens were originally bred by the French for meat and eggs. Faverolles lay a slightly tinted egg and are great layers through the winter. Faverolles are very gentle, do well with children, and can become affectionate with their handlers.
Faverolles chickens are characterized by their beards and muffs as well as feathers on their feet and legs. Faverolles also sport a fifth toe! Salmon Faverolles hens have a rounded appearance and are a light salmon brown color with creamy white breast, beard, and muff. Roosters have white neck feathers, a black beard and muff, and a reddish/salmon brown back with black breast, body legs and primary tail and wing feathers. Salmon Faverolles are not autosexing, but you can easily tell males and females by a few weeks of age. The females will remain the lighter salmon color, and the males will develop much dark brown and black feathers.
Faverolles are considered to be a threatened breed by the Livestock Conservancy. They are an excellent sustainable heritage breed, laying around 3-5 tinted to light brown eggs each week.
Average mature weight: Roosters 8 lbs., Hens 6 1/2 lbs.
