100% Pure Breed Salmon Faverolle Hatching Eggs
The Faverolles is a French breed of chicken. The breed was developed in the 1860s in north-central France, in the vicinity of the villages of Houdan and Faverolles. The breed was given the name of the latter village and the singular is thus also Faverolles, not Faverolle. The final "s" is silent in French.
Faverolles were originally bred in France as a utility fowl, used for both eggs and meat but are now primarily raised for exhibition.
When Faverolles reached the UK in 1886, the breed was further altered to meet exhibition standards, British breeders developed a type of Faverolles with longer, higher raised tail feathers than their German and French cousins.
Faverolles are classified as a heavy breed and have a beard, muffs, feathered feet and five toes per foot, rather than the usual four. Faverolles are well adapted both to confinement and free range. When battery cages began to be used at the very beginning of the twentieth century, Faverolles tolerated the close confinement better than the Houdan breed. Thus, the Faverolles was the primary breed which produced eggs for the Paris market during the early part of the century. Although primarily kept today as an ornamental and exhibition breed, it remains an excellent layer, as well as a fine meat chicken. The most common color is Salmon. The plumage of salmon females is mainly brown and creamy white. The males are darker, with black, brown, and straw-colored feathers.
Other varieties, including white, black, ermine, cuckoo, mahogany, splash and blue also exist. Hens are good winter layers of medium-sized, light brown to pinkish eggs. Some cocks are the quietest of all breeds and Faverolles are also known for their extreme docility. As a result, they tend to get bullied in a mixed flock for being so gentle and friendly. They thrive in groups with other Faverolles, or perhaps, with other docile breeds such as the Sussex.

During shipping, your eggs may have experienced excessive variations in temperature, humidity and pressure changes that may have occurred with fluctuations in altitude. These conditions coupled with careless handlers can, unfortunately, affect the viability of the eggs.
Thank you again for your purchase! Here's a few tips to maximize your hatch!!
- Carefully remove each egg from the foam shipper. DO NOT lift the entire shipper out of the box! The eggs will fall out of the bottom!!
- Inspect each egg for cracks or damage. To check for micro-cracks, use a Candler or bright flashlight. A cracked egg, even if the crack does not penetrate the membrane, becomes susceptible to bacteria. Do not incubate any damaged eggs, they could ruin your entire hatch. Please Don’t risk it.
Please notify me if there is significant damage to your eggs upon arrival. If applicable, please take pictures to provide evidence for the USPS claim.
- Candle the eggs to ensure the air cell at the big end of each egg is stable. Shipping can cause air cells to be detached completely or partially, rolling, saddled, or scrambled. The air cell should appear round and secure. Mark any eggs that have "questionable" air cells for easy identification.
- Place the eggs, pointy end down, into an egg carton, hatching tray or the foam shipper. Let eggs rest, undisturbed, at room temperature for 24 hours prior to setting. This resting period can greatly increase your hatch rates by allowing the air cell to settle back into the proper position.
- While eggs are resting, prepare your incubator. This will allow 24 hours to evaluate the humidity and temperature stability. I set my incubator at 100 degrees Fahrenheit, relative humidity, on days l-17 at 45-55% and on days 18-21 at 60-70%.
- If you determine any air cells to be detached. even in the slightest, I highly recommend setting the eggs in your incubator vertically' (big end up) and leaving them to incubate without disturbing or turning for 2-3 days. As the germinal disk develops the veining will help stabilize the air cell at the top of the egg. For what it's worth, when I set shipped eggs, I always let them sit for 36-48 hours after setting regardless of any signs of detachment. If I do see signs of detachment, I let them sit for a full 72 hours.
- Keep me posted as to your progress and do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!
- Most importantly, have fun! Enjoy the process and the adorable result!
Good luck and Happy Hatching!!
