Pronunciation of "Faverolles"?

I am Southern...we say leg-urn automatically with our lazy drawl. It takes a special effort to get a Southerner to say leg-horn, that H is just too much trouble. Down here its "Fog-urn Leg-urn"

Look, guys. I'm a language expert, so you can relax and leave this all to the professional. If you have more than one Mille Fleur D'Uccle, AND you are an American citizen IN the United States of America, it is traditional and warranted to refer to the group as "them chickens." You may change that to "that there them chickens", but you may not say "there them chickens" because that shows your sub-standard knowledge of French.

I truly hope this helps.

edited to add: thank you juliect for even starting this thread. i feel better today for getting my little crazy weird word whackinesses out.

I sold a lady one of mine once and she said, "I've always wanted a COCK-IN!"

So many chickens, so many ways to mess up their names.

Cuba (country of origin)-lie-ah, is how I've always prounoucned it. It'd be better to ask a Cuban speaking person. I'll have to ask my mentor how he pronounces it. He's been raising them for several years now.
