Pros: Silly, calm when picked up, good layers
Cons: feet,beard,muff,etc get dirty
We got one randomly as a chick from the local feed store. Less than a year later she was killed in a raccoon attack. She was not a loner, she was in charge. She was very sweet and my brother absolutely loved her. So we got two more (pullets) when the feed store had them again. When their coloring came in one looked awful weird. While browsing a Cackle hatchery catalog I saw a picture of our chicken- and was confused. Then it dawned on me"That's the picture of a rooster silly. You have a rooster." So we have a rooster after being assured they were pullets. Oh well he's very sweet but we already have a rooster that I will be breeding for purebreds so the Favorolle and his mate will have to move into a different coop.

Otherwise a very awesome breed!
Pros: Beautiful, sweet, calm
Cons: Inbreeding is a problem because there aren't many suppliers in the US
Our young rooster is the sweetest rooster we have had for a while. He has 2 girls who are beautiful. When we got them our rooster and hen we're doing great but our little hen not so well but she pulled through. I love that little hen to pieces! They are very sweet and soon that roo will have a nice little flock for himself.
All in all this is a great breed!
The rooster is sweet when I pick him up but he runs away from me rather than attacking me.
