Bantam Faverolles

Soft, sweet and wonderfully characterful, Bantam Faverolles chickens are a gorgeous choice for keepers who love a gentle little bird with a rather fancy look. With their fluffy beards, feathered feet and beautifully rounded shape, they have plenty of old-fashioned charm and make a lovely addition to a well-kept garden flock.

Bantam Faverolles are generally known for being calm, friendly and easy to enjoy, which can make them a lovely option for families and newer chicken keepers. They are curious little hens, but usually in a gentle, unhurried sort of way, happily pottering about, scratching, chatting and getting involved in all the important daily chicken business.

As bantams, they lay smaller eggs than standard-sized hens, but they bring so much joy, character and softness to the flock. Because of their feathered feet and fluffy faces, they do best in a clean, dry coop and run, with fresh bedding and sheltered areas to help keep them comfortable through the wetter UK weather. Give Bantam Faverolles a safe, cosy home and they will reward you with plenty of charm, chatter and delightful little hen antics.
