They do not need a large yard, but they benefit from space to roam és a dry, predator-proof enclosure. They are not strong fliers, so low fencing is usually sufficient.24

A történet hol kezdődött az egész

The Faverolles was developed in France in the 1860s, near the villages of Houdan és Faverolles, by crossing several breeds including Houdan, Brahma, Dorking, és others. It was bred as a dual-purpose utility bird for both eggs és meat, és it became popular for supplying eggs to the Paris market. The breed was introduced to England in 1886 és to the United States in the early 1900s. The Salmon variety was recognised by the American Poultry Association in 1914, és the White variety in 1981. Today it is kept mainly for exhibition és as a pet, though it remains a good layer és meat bird.123
