Raise a friendly flock with unmistakable character using Salmon Faverolles day-old chicks from Overr Eazy Farm LLC in Sylva, North Carolina.

Beards and muffs, feathered legs, and five toes give Salmon Faverolles their distinctive appearance. Their gentle, curious nature makes them especially appealing to families and keepers who enjoy interacting with their flock.

These chicks are sold straight run (unsexed). They may be male or female, and no particular ratio of hens to roosters is guaranteed. Starting with day-old chicks lets you raise your flock from hatch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does straight run mean?

Straight run means unsexed. Chicks are not separated into males and females at hatch, so this listing is suitable for buyers prepared to raise hens, roosters, or a combination.

Do these chicks need a brooder?

Yes. Day-old chicks need a prepared brooder with appropriate warmth, dry bedding, chick starter feed, and fresh water. Our chick care guide covers the setup.

When will Salmon Faverolles hens begin laying?

Many begin laying around 20–26 weeks of age, depending on genetics, season, nutrition, and daylight. That is an estimate from hatch, not a guarantee for an individual bird.

What care do feathered feet need?

Provide clean, dry bedding and check feathered feet regularly for mud or debris. Their gentle nature also makes thoughtful introductions important when joining a more assertive flock.
