Heritage Chickens

Salmon Faverolle

 Status: Threatened (less than 1,000)

Salmon Faverolles are listed as "threatened" by the Livestock Conservancy, meaning there are less than 1,000 birds left in the United States. They are a dual-purpose French breed with origins dating back to 1886, and were imported into the United States in 1901. Salmon Faverolles are a very docile breed, and are usually lower in the pecking order in mixed breed flocks. 
This dual-purpose breed was bred to still be productive in French winters, and lay a tinted egg. They are very slow to mature, and are butchered at a smaller weight, but have a highly sought-after depth of flavor.
