French Red Label, highest quality in Fr., describes their
pastur'd breed of white Faverolle. 

It's in Fr.  It says: "Accès au parcours à 6 semaines Age :
84 jours minimum" I think this means they go to pasture or
join the flock in 6 wks, mature at 84 da., or more.

Kinda gives an idea about theme park gardening. The French
have been long known for their farm techniques and food.
Techniques such as "french intensive" and, of course,
everyone knows about the food.

Lots of gardeners have themes such as halloween and
thanksgiving to get buisness so these birds may be a natural
for a french theme.

Anyway the above referenced stuff comes from a person who
also has a very useful an dinteresting web site about
chicken feed that I think is on-topic:

Does anyone have an operation that follows a theme such as
french, Belgian, Martian or whatever?
