The Salmon Faverolle was originally bred as utility poultry breed in France for winter eggs. Today the breed is rare and raised mostly for exhibition and novelty.
Faverolles are good-sized chickens with a beard, muff, feathered legs and feet, and fifth toe. Males are straw-colored with reddish brown and black markings. Females are a creamy white and salmon brown, and lay cream-colored eggs. Day-old baby chicks are fluffy and creamy white with muffs and fuzzy legs.
Faverolles do not do well in a free range setting, but are good in colder weather and have a nice disposition.
