FAVEROLLE

Product Description

This breed was developed in France as a dual-purpose farmstead chicken and named after the French village of Faverolle. The Faverolle was bred from so many other breeds that no one can agree on its exact heritage. It has a single comb, a beard and muffs, slight leg feathering, and five toes. The Faverolle may be large or bantam and comes in a few color varieties, of which the original color, salmon, remains the most common. The hens are good layers of eggs with light brown shells and tend toward broodiness.
