Back by popular demand for 2011 is the salmon faverolle. We kept these a few years ago and they are one of the breeds that our regular customers keep asking us about - 'when will you be keeping favs again?'. Originating from Northern France, they are very affectionate and have 5 toes (most hens have 4!) They thrive in a run and are not good fliers so the fencing doesn't have to be very high.

They are quiet, friendly, gentle birds that can actually become very affectionate towards their keepers and are an ideal breed for children. They are alert, active birds - the hens making very good broodies and mothers.
