I've heard two ways

FAV A Relles

FAVE R Elles (rhymes with favor)

The rarest I've heard was the Favor rolles.

It's Fav - roll. In French you don't pronounce the es on the end.

Yes, that's how we would say it in English. In French, the name wouldn't change. It would be Le Faverolles for one chicken and Les (lay) Faverolles for more than one.

Found this

"Guns don't kill people abortion kills people."

The human will is too powerful for philosophy or science.

Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton agreed on little publicly, but they did agree that when the public treasury becomes a public trough and the voters recognize that, they will send to government only those who promise them a bigger piece of the pie

It is hard to spell out the pronunciation it in native French, with their "r" sound being very different from ours. Its much more glottal, pronounced much more hoarse and raspy in the back of the throat rather then the, smooth, mid-mouth "er"as in English. Anyways.... it would be FAV-rol. The gentleman here is pronouncing "Faverolles-les-lucey" http://www.forvo.com/word/faverolles-l%C3%A8s-lucey/ which is an area in some French city, but you get the idea.

Ask your doctor if taking medical advice from the TV is right for you.
Because it is chicken/music related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCq47IkuetU
