Hello,
I have enjoyed reading through lots of wonderful info on this site, and now I have an account so I can join in the discussions! I am a new farmer focusing mostly on fruits and vegetables, but I plan to incorporate chickens into my orchards next spring. I am trying to learn as much as I can now, so I will be prepared to care for them when the time comes. I am looking for a docile breed that free ranges well, and right now I am leaning towards faverolles. I am open to all input and suggestions! I am located in central Indiana, and am actively searching for a reputable breeder of straight run salmon faverolles within a 5 hour drive. I prefer not to mail order chicks. I am also interested to hear if *anyone* manages to keep roosters. I am willing to go to considerable effort to avoid killing extra roosters, if there is a way to do it. Looking forward to meeting other chicken enthusiasts and learning from this wonderful community!
Cheers,
Laura
