Hi! I’m so happy to be a part of this group. I have followed threads and advice a lot since getting chickens. I’m a brand new chicken momma. Started with a hen and rooster Salmon Faverolles. They came to me in extremely rough shape. Malnourished, covered in lice, mites and parasite. The hen even has a prolapse vent. Quite an introduction into the chicken world. They are so healthy and happy now and almost unrecognizable and they will continue to get healthier and happier here ❤️ Below is my Roos transformation so far. His name is Brewster 😬
Have 4 chicks in my brooder (did have 5 but lost one 😥) two azure blues and 2 black sex link they are so cute and fuzzy. Such a joy to care for these sweet bird. So happy to have my first little flock in the making.
I ordered a hen saddle for my girl as she’s the only hen right now and I noticed that she is missing feathers on her back poor thing. I hope she likes to wear it I’m excited to get it in the mail.

Sounds like you had quite the introduction to chicken-raising! Congrats on getting your first two healthy. My flock includes two Salmon Faverolles, both hens, and I think they are absolutely comical sometimes. Camille, especially, likes to YELL at me for no apparent reason. I'm always struck by how different a Faverolles rooster looks.

Hope all goes well with your new babies. Welcome to BYC!!
