Excited to Share My Future Backyard Chicken & Rescue Farm! 🐔🌱

[Beau plus penny]

Hi everyone!


I’m thrilled to share my plans for my future backyard chicken and rescue farm! My goal is to create a safe, happy, and healthy environment for rescued chickens while also raising free-range birds that are well cared for and loved. I'm so excited I've been thinking about this for a very long time.


Part of my vision includes a sanctuary for rescued chickens, where they can live safely and happily. Rescued birds will have plenty of space to roam, nutritious food, and lots of care and attention. For people who love chickens but don’t have time to raise chicks, we’ll offer rescued birds for adoption, giving them a second chance in loving homes.


I’m also excited about the breeds I’ll be raising and breeding:


Sussex: Speckled, Red, Buff, and Light
Wyandottes: Blue Laced Gold, Blue Laced Red, Silver, and Gold
Orpingtons: Chocolate Laced, Silver, Lavender, Buff, and Molted
Cochins: Blue, Black, Splash, Black & Lavender, Gold Laced, Silver Laced, and Molted
Bantams: Silkies in Buff, White, Black, and Blue, plus a variety of Bantam Cochins


My focus will be on raising healthy, happy chickens, preserving the unique traits of each breed, and producing show-quality birds for fairs and exhibitions. I also hope to educate people about proper chicken care, responsible rehoming, and the joys of backyard flocks.


I’d love any advice, tips, or stories from fellow chicken enthusiasts — especially those experienced with rescues, breeding programs, or adoptions. I can’t wait to connect with other chicken lovers and share this journey!

This is awesome!

My only advice would be is to maintain two separate sections far from each other. One section is yours, for breeding, and the other section, nowhere near these, is for the adopted ones, and where you will have the public entering. Inevitably, you'll be taking in a chicken or chickens that are sick or diseased. You'll want them far from yours.

Good luck! Sounds fun!
