Here chick, chick, chick!

Okay. So I have decided to have 15 chickens instead of an even dozen. (Counting Punky Rooster) And this is why.........

This is a Salmon Faverolle hen with some of her little chickydoodles. She will lay brown eggs and this is what the hatchery says about this breed of chicken.........

Originating in France in the 1850's, the Salmon Faverolle is a good dual purpose chicken being both a good layer and a large size bird. The Salmon Faverolle chicken has a calm and docile personality which makes them a favorite chicken for backyards. Their characteristics include beard, muff, 5 toes and feathered shanks.

I don't much care that you can eat these guys but I do care about the docile personality. And the fact that they lay brown eggs. I like that. So I think Punky Rooster is going to have his hands full. Or is that spurs???
