Go check out the Salmon Faverolles thread! You can find the link in my signatureSo my current set-up...
My faverolles pair, Louis and Lady Fantine, are living in an old dog run that is 2m x 3m, with a little coop I bought from Bunnings. I originally had them free-ranging at our new place until my toddlersaurus discovered how much fun it was chasing them. Louis was a very placid rooster to start with but I just really felt that toddlers and roosters don't mix, so they are confined for now. I use a deep litter system for their run to keep the ground from turning into scorching hot bare dirt, it keeps them stimulated and entertained, and it seems to reduce the flies a bit. A native vine called muelhenbeckia grows up the sides and over the top which gives them nice dappled shade. Louis and Lady Fantine are about to go into their 18 month moult. Lady Fantine is already looking a bit bedraggled and I'm looking forward to putting her in our new big run with her offspring girls (who I hatched out in the incubator) and giving her a well-deserved break and lots of dried mealworms. Louis will go into a bachelor pad for the winter with my spare faverolles and marans cockerels.
