Poultry breeds photos: The Faverolles

Originally created for its dual-purpose qualities, the Faverolles originated in the village of Faverolles, in Northern France, and was imported into Great Britain in 1886. Good for laying and meat, Faverolles have a rather square shape, due to small closely tucked wings, combined with a slightly upright tail and short neck. Salmon is a colour unique to the Faverolles. All colours have orange eyes except blues and blacks which are dark. Legs and feet are white, again except for blues and blacks, which are dark. Faverolles males can weigh up to 11lbs. (5.oKg) and hens 9lbs (4.3kg). They are bred in bantam as well as the large sizes and although, slow maturing, have an excellent temperament.
