Reviews about the breed of chicken favel

We bring to your attention a few reviews about this breed:

Faverlokki... My dream... It's just in our climate, and foragers are excellent, and meat, and beauties. They are all good. forum of farmers

I admire not only the beautiful flower garden of the beetles in my hen house, I also admire their meat in the kitchen and on the table. The meat of a 6-month-old rooster is roasted as fast as the meat of a young broiler. Tender, juicy, but to taste the fuselage meat competitors do not.
forum of farmers

I am engaged in the favela krill breed. My weight in six months is from , 00 to , 00, the weight of the gibleted carcass is , 00-, 00, the weight starts to gain well after 2 months, I would say that they shoot, to 4-4.5 months the bird looks dignified, round and appetizing. With age, meat does not become stiffer and rougher. It is very convenient for me that the time of slaughter is stretched indefinitely, always fresh, tender meat.

And one more thing, it can be ridiculous. Their carcasses are not hairy, singing more for pro forma, the Zagorsk salmon, compared to the phaverolia after plucking, is just curly punk. Skin in chicken favelos is thinner and whiter than in other breeds. And the carcass looks very attractive - soft pink. For us, a faverol, like meat, is an indisputable favorite. forum of farmers

Initially deduced as a meat canteen, the breed of chicken pheasant, thanks to many years of breeding, acquired a high egg-laying and decorativeness.
