Salmon Favorelle

What a beautiful bird. Similar to an Ameriacauna with fancy feet feathers. I would love to find one.

I really want a SF now! Thanks @CherriesBrood

Thank you both. You can find these at some hatcheries, but my favorite hatchery is chickens for backyards hatchery. That's where I got mine, and I'm getting my next one from them too.

same as the amaracona in my avatar and her name is brownwie

Looks just like your description of her: sweet.

Americaunas don't have fancy feet feathers

No, Americaunas and Salmon Favorelles aren't the same. These don't lay green/blue eggs. These ones come in a pinkish whitish color and they have feathered feet.

We have about 20 and they talk all the time...They are French, so we can't really understand them but their eggs make the best toast and bread...Love them all.

Haha! Mine does to, she's always going like aaaahhhh.

I think Friztle does have an adorable face and expression, so cute! This breed is on my wish list.

Give me strength to avoid th.................I've lost the battle

I'm diseased

Can you sex them by their feather color?

they can be sexed by feather color by about 7-10 days. Unfortunately, hatchery birds often do not exhibit the traits a bird that is produced by a breeder do. Hatchery birds are chosen for production and vigor. I find that my hatchery birds may meet the minimum standard for the breed but often do not show many qualities that that breed are known for in terms of temperment and feather quality. My hatchery birds are not friendly overall but are good layers. My purebreds from breeders have the "attitude" and physical traits I would expect

I have to agree with @Shawneegyrl . Hatchery birds barely resemble the true breed they claim to be, and their temperament is usually sour. I had a Salmon hen from a local breeder a couple years ago and some eggs from the same breeder in the incubator now.

Personality wise, they are at the bottom of the pecking order due to their natural submissiveness. For this reason they don't do well in a mixed flock. They can be quite easily handled by even young children without much fuss. They are very social, and can brood. They don't make the greatest of mothers (in a mixed flock). The hen is so submissive that the chicks will be harassed by the other birds. Also their large size can lead to chicks being stepped on and crushed. In a closed/protected setting they can make very devoted mothers, never letting the chicks out of their site. I had a young hen who hadn't even started laying yet adopt and successfully raise three rambunctious ducklings as her own. This same hen in a later hatch sat on and crushed one of her own chicks.

Every bird is an individual. So, while you can get "duds" from a breeder. You have a better chance at getting quality birds from a breeder rather than a hatchery.

Are you sure you don't have a group of bantams with one standard sized Favorelle? That's sure what it looks like to me.

That, or you have a red broiler and not a faverolle.

Does it have a beard?

That is cute!

It sure doesn't look like it has feathered feet. All Faverolles have 5 toes. Does that chick? Agreeing with allosaurus on this. Though I don't think Faverolles deserve a poor rating based on your one chick that sure doesn't seem like a faverolle and isn't a bad chick.
