Product Description

Now SOLD OUT FOR 2025... We do have Salmon Favourelle Hatching eggs available, and from mid summer 2025 we will have Salmon Favourelle young chicks available. Text for Availabiltity of chicks from June 2025 onwards. 

Add the elegance and charm of Salmon Faverolles point-of-lay (POL) hens to your flock, these large fowl hens are calm, reliable egg layers with stunning feathering, they are a personal favourite here of ours - and we find them really docile and loving. 

For a smoother transition when bringing new hens home, we highly recommend getting a poultry drink, something similar to this, (available on Amazon - or your local pet shop), when purchasing pure-breed chickens. Moving to a new home and flock can be stressful, and using a drink like this can make a real difference in helping them settle in by giving them a boost of energy and vitamins.

What Makes Salmon Faverolles Special?

  • Unique Features: These hens are admired for their beards, muffs, feathered legs, and distinctive five-toed feet.
  • Productive Layers: They produce medium-sized, light brown eggs consistently, even in colder months.
  • Gentle Nature: Their calm temperament makes them ideal for families or mixed flocks of similarly docile birds.

Care and Compatibility

  • Housing: Spacious, dry coops with plenty of ventilation are essential for their size and feathered legs.
  • Flock Compatibility: Faverolles thrive with Brahmas and bantams but are not suited for hybrid flocks due to vaccination differences.
  • Outdoor Runs: These hens enjoy foraging but need well-drained spaces to keep their feathered feet clean.
  • Feeding: Transition from growers' pellets at 18 weeks to layers' pellets to support egg production.

Important Details

  • Vaccination: Fully vaccinated for their health and your peace of mind.
  • Collection: Choose your hens with group sizes of three or more recommended for social wellbeing, you can mix these with our Brahma's, or any of our bantam hens.
