Salmon Faverolles have 5 toes. The hens tend to have white tipped wing-feathers as opposed to the cockerels which have black tipped wing-feathers. They lay cream coloured eggs. Right leaving it up to others to post facts now.

They are the only breed of Large Fowl chicken where Silver Wheaten (Salmon) is an accepted colour in this country! (Though one breeder is working on Blue Salmon in another breed but it is still in the experimental stage ) Back to top fairislefaerie Joined: 12 Mar 2007 Posts: 542 Posted: Tue May 08, 2007 2:49 pm    Post subject: I have cuckoo's hatching next week, had 10 salmons in the bator and every one failed.
