Three French Hens
FAVEROLLES
Faverolles are a breed of chicken developed in northern France in the 1860s. The fluffy and feathery breed is famous for its friendly nature and pleasing looks. The Faverolles breed is a combination of Couchin, Houdan and Dorking chickens. They are big, strong birds and are reliable and regular egg layers. Plumage colours include black, buff, cuckoo, laced blue, salmon and white. 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' appeared in 1780 as a chant of French origin. The modern tune had its origin in 1909 from an arrangement of a folk melody by Frederic Austin.
