Legs and feet are white, again except for blues and blacks, which are dark. Faverolles males can weigh up to 11lbs. They are bred in bantam as well as the large sizes and although, slow maturing, have an excellent temperament. The body is of medium length with good width and depth for meat production. Marans have high tails, complementing a neat head with a single comb and prominent eye.
All colours have orangey-red eyes, with red earlobes and white legs.
They mature quickly for a heavy breed, reaching 6-7lbs in six months. Day-old males have a white spot on the top of the head, females a darker one which makes sexing chicks fairly easy. Both bantam and Large Fowl are available. Originating in China, the Brahma arrived in England via America in the 1850's. A handsome, large bird, it is full-bodied with a small head, beetle brows and neat pea comb.
