I got my first chickens - five Salmon Faverolles pullets - in June 2021, and my flock continued to grow. I got a Blue Salmon cockerel to keep my pullets company, then when a neighbor moved I took their 9 Wyandotte hens, 1 Easter Egger hen and one EE rooster. Then I bought 2 gorgeous Orpington hens - bringing my total number of birds to 19.
I keep my birds in two separate coops, my Faverolles have their own coop and covered run, while the rest of my birds live in a garage that I converted into an indoor run with a coop inside.
I really found my passion with chicken keeping, I’ve always wanted to care for animals but chronic illness and pain keeps me from working with larger animals that require more intensive physical labor, like horses which was my original passion.
