We're excited to announce we are breeding some very special chickens on our homestead. Salmon Faverolles are listed as a "Threatened" heritage breed on The Livestock Conservancy Conservation Priority List. Our efforts to breed and share these unique dual purpose chickens will help protect them from being lost forever.
** We have fulfilled our goals for 2018. Thank you to all those who have supported us. We're growing out some beautiful birds for our future breeding plans. **
We chose Salmon Faverolles for their well known docile nature, hardiness, early maturity, and great Winter production of tinted medium sized eggs. Faverolles are one of the few five-toed chickens and Salmon is a unique color pattern found exclusively on the Faverolles breed. Faverolles, with their fluffy muffs, feathered feet, beards and sweet disposition are great pets for children. A dual purpose bird, with meat favored by chefs for exceptional tenderness, is efficient for the homestead. This particular variety is also easy to sex by feather coloring so we can identify and offer Pullet chicks and replacement layers for your own flock.

An APA Hall of Fame Grand Master Exhibitor, Licensed Judge, and Breeder helped us cull our foundation stock and was hands-on in the selection of our breeding flock. Our Salmon Faverolles are being bred to the APA Standard of Perfection to provide our community with quality chickens and further The Livestock Conservancy's efforts to save them.
We invite you to follow our journey as we build a new coop on the homestead to house our very rare flock.
Our original bloodlines were sourced from across the United States from NPIP participating breeders. Our flock has undergone testing for NPIP and Avian Influenza. As part of the NPIP annual recertification our birds and their living areas are inspected by an Idaho State Department of Agriculture Veterinarian. Additionally, the state vet visits bi-annually for Avian Influenza testing. Our Idaho issued NPIP number is 110.

Pipping Eggs in 2019

Thank you for your request. We will add you to the 2019 Wish List and contact you when we reach your name on the list in order it was received. We cannot predict when that will be. We will hatch a limited number of runs but you will have the option to "pass" when we reach you if you aren't ready or the timing isn't good. You will be skipped and we'll come back around eventually.
We currently do not ship. Pickup near Priest River, ID, is required. We do not sell cockerels, hatching eggs, or laying hens currently, though you may request them. We do not guarantee show quality poultry. Please, assume you will receive pet quality Pullets for your laying flock. Being on the Wish List is not a guarantee you will receive chicks.
We appreciate your order and look forward to fulfilling your wish for Salmon Faverolles for your flock.
Sincerely,
Lance and Lorinda

LOOK AT THE BIRDS OF THE AIR;
THEY DO NOT SOW OR REAP OR STORE FOOD IN BARNS,
AND YET OUR HEAVENLY FATHER FEEDS THEM.
ARE YOU NOT MUCH MORE VALUABLE THEN THEY?
