Please note that when choosing this breed that the wait could be for one to two (or more) months.
The Faverolles is one of our favorite chicken breeds. They're gorgeous and wonderfully odd-looking, with muffs, a beard, feathered legs and five toes. Salmon Faverolles are the most commonly available variety, and we offer them here.
Hens are beautiful, with snowy breasts and fluffy white faces: their backs are a lovely honeyed salmon color with white lacing. Roosters are huge and magnificent, parading around with a virtual rainbow of colors: iridescent black where the hens are white, burnished with bronze on their backs and wings, while their hackles and saddles the color of pale straw. The chicks are creamy yellow, sometimes with a sooty smudge or two, and they are so cute with their tiny downy legs!
Male Faverolles are particularly calm and dignified, and make great roosters for the home flock since they are not as aggressive as some others. The hens lay medium-sized light brown or creamy eggs in prolific numbers, and they are good winter layers, too. They are shy and sweet-natured, but so docile that they tend to find themselves at the bottom of the pecking order in a mixed flock. Chicks can get picked on, too, so for that reason, Salmon Faverolles are often NOT the most hardy breed as chicks.

Baby chicks can now be shipped in quantities as small as three,
depending on location (see below). All baby chicks are shipping via USPS Express Mail on Mondays,
but due to hatching availability they might not be shipped for up to eight weeks.
We will notify you by email so you know exactly when to expect them.
How to determine the best minimum for you:
Our smallest order size of 3 chicks applies to major cities only, such as Los Angeles, New York,
Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Portland OR, etc., due to the speed with which
they can be delivered. If you live within 30 minutes of a major city, the best minimum is 5 chicks.
For any town or rural area that is more than 30 minutes from a major city, our minimum is 8 chicks.
This is to protect the chicks due to increased time in transit. If you are ordering Bantams, we
strongly recommend that you add two chicks to any of the above quantities. We love our babies too
much to let anything happen to them!
