Description
Originating in France in the 1850’s, the Salmon Faverolle is a good dual purpose chicken being both a good layer and a large size bird. The Salmon Faverolle chicken has a calm and docile personality which makes them a favorite chicken for backyards. Their characteristics include beard or called muff, 5 toes and feathered shanks. They are not the strongest chicks we offer and can get dehydrated quickly during shipping. So be sure to have your brooder ready and all warmed up and baby them on arrival. They lay a light brown egg and some might call it a peachy egg shell color. As adults don’t build roosting poles that are too high for them and always beware that they have that 5th toe that can be damaged easily if it gets caught by the wire fencing.
We also offer at limited times of the year Salmon Faverolle Fertile Hatching Eggs

Erika Bontrager –
Ordered 5 Salmon Faverolles this Spring and they are the cutest birds we’ve had yet with all the feathers around their faces and feet. Our’s all have extra toes that are well-formed and make a very cute noise. Their sweet disposition means they are not alphas like the Whiting True Blues, but they hold their own well and are thriving.

While this is a second review on the same order I feel in necessary to say that these have to of been some of the sweetest chickens I have ever owned. They seem eager to be handled and enjoy perching on my shoulders and nestling up to my cheek.

We have had Favs for years. Our old flock aged out and now we are on our 3rd flock of these birds. They are not the best layers and they are kind of silly birds but their benefits outweigh all of it. I can confidently recommend this bird as an outstanding eating bird. The extra roos we have from our hatches can quickly be identified and separated allowing us to sell mostly hens at a very young age while feeding out roos for the table. What’s great is that we can leave them in a bachelor group for a while and process as needed. With this breed the roos still have tender leg quarters even at nearly a year old. I’ve never had any breed do that. Breast meat on any heritage bird is cat food pretty much and same goes for these but personally I prefer a great leg quarter anyway. If you like a fun little silly bird that can be up around your house being all pretty but also makes outstanding chicken dinners this is your breed.

I Ordered four salmon faverolle chicks. ! rooster and 3 hens. They were kind enough to give me one extra hen for free. The chicks I got are happy and healthy looking. Will certainly be looking here when i need some more birds.

I can’t wait to get mine I ordered 3 females and 1 rooster I’m hoping he will be as striking as the one in the picture 2nd time I’ve ordered and you don’t disappoint chicks are always beautiful Thank you

Such lovely funny little birds. I ordered 10 females and 5 unsexed. They all grew lovely and healthy. Upon moving them outside, I noticed predators nicked 8 of my fluffy bumpkins. They really have no ability to avoid predators whatsoever. Even inside of a movable chicken tractor 8 disappeared. We now have them in the movable chicken tractor which is inside a large dog pen. The dog pen holds geese and ducks. No more missing fluffy loves. They are so fun and talkative. The roosters are very handsome.

I ordered five females and one male during late summer (along with several other breeds). They were all healthy upon arrival and I had zero issues with them. They are really beautiful birds with fluffy little beards, muffs, and feet. The male is especially striking with his black and cream feathers. They are all friendly and my rooster is docile and not at all aggressive. This is my first time having Salmon Faverolles and I love them! Highly recommend.

Received 3 chicks plus one extra a week ago. They are still alive and healthy a week later but are slow growers compared to other breeds. I have Oliver egger chicks a week older but three times larger. Cackle always delivers healthy chicks

I ordered 8 female Salmon Faverolle chickens and received nine. Unfortunately, one did pass away early on. As they aged I realized I had a little boy, and honestly could not have been happier! All of my birds are super healthy and full of personality. I love them a lot and will buy from Cackle again!

The Salmon Faverolles from Cackle are hands down the prettiest i have ever seen from a hatchery. Often you get the darker colored ones that are kind of small and the roosters are almost black. NOT these. Wow is all i can say. ours are about 8 months old now and lay a super dark egg to. I count that as a major plus. If I ever need Favs this is the company i am buying from.

Thanks
My last order was salmon favs and they were cute, friendly and healthy. I am close enough to pick up and they still gave me an extra.

Favorites!
By far, one of my favorite breeds. Adorable fuzzy faces and feet and sweet personalities. They are about three months old, but their personalities are very visible with one of my favorites pullets being a salmon faverolle. Her name is Munchkin, and she seems to have a slight leg deformity that causes her to waddle and occasionally stumble, but she doesn’t let this slow her down. Even though she seems low on the pecking order, she also does not back down when she’s challenged. My other two faverolles are sweet and don’t waddle like Munchkin does. Great breed!
