Pullets vary widely in color. Type is most important. No matter what shade of salmon they should be evenly colored from head to tail. Cockerels also vary in color. Don't get hung up on color, type first. If you are really interested in the breed you may want to get a copy of the SOP.

Where would someone find a copy of the SOP?

It's in the Standard of Perfection which you can get from the APA. There are probably old copies available on Ebay or at ABEbooks.

On the APA website all I can find is a copy of the 2010 SOP. Do they print a new version every or every so often?

2010 is the current Standard.

Oh OK thanks I'll have to get a copy.

Okay I am getting that Salmon Faverolles are LOUD? And not to get them from My Pet Chicken, MPC which is of course where I got mine? I bought blue orpingtons, Salmon Faverolles a Gold Maran, Splash Marans from them should I cancel my order?

Thanks!

Where did you hear that Faverolles are loud? In general mine are not. You are going to find loudmouths in any breed. MPC gets their Favs from Meyer.

I read it in the fist few pages of this post. Honestly I've been reading about egg sizes and other stuff for 2 days straight I am on brain fry! I see that they lay medium size eggs. Is that wrong too? Thanks!

In general they medium sized eggs. Some will produce large eggs.
