My husband and I are avid about poultry. I started keeping a flock with 6 hens about 4 years ago. I now raise and breed Salmon Faverolles (just hatched a couple dozen beauties 4 and 7 weeks ago). We also have an assorted flock of layers including Cuckoo Marans, Golden Wyandottes, Easter Eggers, Dominiques and Buff Orpington. Every time I think I've got a 'favorite' breed I find myself getting acquainted with another and loving them too. I also raise Pilgrim Geese and my husband raises heritage turkeys for sale at Thanksgiving. Best, and looking forward to learning from all of you!
