Baby Chicks: Salmon Faverolles Female Reviews

4.5 Rating 74 Reviews
So my Favs are gorgeous, fluffy, funny and overall adorable and on top of that have already started laying! Hatched September 13th 2020 and even though they are winter chicks have started earning their keep. I just adore this breed

Our baby Favorelle Lou Lou makes me laugh every time I look at her. She was a little shy at first, but is starting to become more comfortable with being held and loved on. I know my family is sick of seeing photos of her, but I seriously cannot stop, she is so round and fluffy it's a wonder she can even walk around! The cutest chick I've ever encountered with those little cheeks. She loves to eat and is just so adorable. Lightening fast shipping, they arrived less than 24 hours after leaving the facility, all beautiful healthy babies.

I ordered some Salmon Faverolles chicks and they arrived healthy and FEISTY! They are the cutest little things and took right to eating and drinking after I dipped beaks and tapped their food in front of them. I had the breed many years ago and am glad to have them again. They are the sweetest little birds as they start to become pullets or cockerels. They will forever be a favorite of ours. I am looking forward to them growing into some friendly birds. Thank you so much!

We ordered a rooster specifically. He is HUGE, and surprisingly very very sweet. Does well guarding the flock to a degree.. Wouldn’t risk his life but still a good boy.

What a quirky chicken! Our Salmon Faverolles, Hazel, has always been a unique individual. All the other chickens will be over here doing something useful and she’ll be over there, just sitting around in the grass. She’s at the bottom of the pecking order and gets picked on a lot, but that’s just the way of the chicken I suppose. She has never been the best layer; she’s only three and she hardly layed any eggs this past summer. But she’s so cute and sweet. She is very quiet, and most often makes an inquisitive cooing noise which I love. I would not buy this breed again based upon Hazel’s laying ability, but I still love having her around.

I have purchased three different times from MPC, and my Salmon Faverolles, Clementine, did not disappoint! She is the last born in my mixed flock of 15, including 2 roosters. First off, they are absolutely stunning! She is curious, and funny, and I call her "my lead investigator". She is the first to get into anything, and check out new things. I was initially weary because this site warns about how they are bound to be bullied, but she stands up to my alpha hen and rowdy boys without batting an eye. I will never go without a salmon in my flock again :)

We have one Salmon Faverolles as part of a 6 chicken mixed flock. She is a little flighty but you can catch her if you need to. Not the friendliest of the bunch, but not mean at all. Her best quality is she's a steady layer. She has been laying faithfully every other day through the dead of Minnesota winter even while all my other hens have decided to take a vacation. She's really vocal and will scold me anytime I do anything with the hen house (clean, etc). If you're looking for a good, consistent layer of light brown to pink colored eggs, this is your gal.
