We’re very excited to be here! Last June, we brought our new feathered family home (17 salmon faverolles, 2 silkies, 2 Rhode Island reds, and 9 bantams; not sure of breeds, some have feathered feet a couple do not). We have 3 roosters and I believe everyone has begun laying- we get roughly between 16-20 per day. We aren’t sure who’s laying though. We built a coop from scratch; scrap pieces of everything and it is amazing! Right now we have two warming lights, a heated waterer and hanging feeder. We built 6 large laying boxes (which sometimes get used)! We find eggs outside, in the boxes, all over in the coop 🥰 we’re feeding them an 18% protein mash and meal worms for treats. We grow a huge garden so they enjoyed that all summer and fall as well!! Truly love them!!
