Salmon Favorolles Chicks Coming Soon!
Salmon Favorolles are a part of our farm. Soon we will have chicks available for rehoming. More about the benefits of favorolles... These chickens thrive on human attention, are expert cuddlers, and one of the best breeds for kids. Faverolles chickens will also give you plenty of delicious, creamy-colored eggs, even in the cold winter months. Traditionally, they've been used as meat birds as well, although today they're more often kept as pets. Adorable, active, hilarious, and overwhelmingly sweet. Faverolles chickens are an excellent breed for people who like to spend time with their flock. Faverolles chickens, not just because of their excessively sweet nature, but also because of their adorable features. With their giant muffs and beards, their feathered legs and feet, and their quirky extra toes, these birds are just too cute.
Silkie Chickens Coming Soon!
Silkies make great pets. They are fluffy, cute, tame, and lovable. They have a natural affinity for human company from day one. The eggs are delicious, small, but are really nice with good strong shells and bright yolks. Silkies make excellent sitters and broody hens. Silkies are determined sitters and will even hatch Guinea fowl and duck eggs that need 28 to 35 days incubation. Hens are good mothers and the roosters are generally good dads as well. One article spoke of a lady with silkies who said she has found them trying to hatch golf balls or stones in far corners of her land. Now that's dedication! Silkies are quiet. The cockerels have a soft and quiet crow and the hens seem to make much less noise than my other breeds. Silkies can't hop very high or fly at all so are easy to keep contained in a backyard. Silkies are extremely passive and not a flappy type so great for kids or people who have no experience with chickens. They are a great starter chicken. Petite, lightweight, and generally a thrifty bird that likes to free range which make them light on your food bill. They do very well in a small confined area as well.
