These girls are my favorite. They are very reliable layers thus far. They are the friendliest of my flock. They follow you around like little puppies. They are also the best with our children, letting them handle them hand feed them etc.
The only draw back is that with the exception of one SF hen with attitude, they are the bottom of the pecking order and they are easily picked on.
We have three salmon faverolles. Super sweet! And fantastic with the rest of our city "farm" (our Great Pyr. Mix and Shepherd Mix ... and HUGE cat). They're very good winter layers (we get at least two eggs/day). Very friendly. They like to follow us around the yard and come when they're called (craziness, I know). Not aggressive in the least and very smart (almost expressive). My only complaint is that we didn't get more!!
Breed Details: The Faverolle breed is a calm, gentle breed. They are a very curious breed. I have read that Faverolles are fragile chicks, but in my experience this has not been the case. They have been very easy to hatch, brood, and raise. They lay around 160-180 eggs per year. They lay medium sized tinted or salmon colored eggs. They are an easy breed to keep and raise. All of the faverolles I have had, have been quiet birds. But I have heard from others that they can be very noisy. |
