Faverolles ( French Faverolles ) - French breed of hens . The birthplace of the faverole is the town of Faverole in the center of France. The faverol was originally bred in France as a table breed, but now it is predominantly on display at exhibitions. The faverol was bred on the basis of the Goodan , Brama , Cochinhin and silver Dorking breeds.

Description of appearance
The faveroli are mostly orange-pink flowers, they have five fingers on their feet, as well as a beard and a comb on the head. In orange-pink females, the crests are predominantly brown and creamy white.
Roosters are darker with black, brown, and pale yellow feathers . [1] There are also other variations, including white, black, spotted and blue. Chickens of this breed, having a good layer of feathers that protect them from winter temperatures, have medium-sized eggs of light brown to pinkish hues. The use of faverole in kashrut was in question because of their difference from ordinary hens. [2]
