Sorry but I just thought of something else you could do….
Maybe you can find someone to buy you out. Pay you what you paid or close to it, and just change the shipping address on your GF order.
I hope you can figure something out and not be out that much money.
Sorry this happened to you. I can imagine how excited you were to start your chicken adventure only to have it take a back seat because of a health emergency.
I couldn’t believe that you are being charged 50% even with 2 months to go!! I went on Green Fire’s website and I DID in fact find where...
The float test for hatching is where you will look for movement. It’s not really looking for the egg to float or sink. The water just makes it easier to observe movement that you wouldn’t necessarily notice by looking at the egg. But I do agree with the other poster that your egg is most likely...
Hello! Congratulations on your decision to be a chicken owner, or a chicken “tender”! 😆 It’s so much fun!
If you are wanting chickens that are close to laying then I don’t think you will find anyone to ship them. For the most part only baby chicks or very young “started” birds will ship through...

The pictures I added were of mine...
Pretty sure that’s a male, but I don’t know from that one picture if it’s 100% Salmon Faverolles… maybe a mixed breed…
More pictures would help though.
I do think they are more of a skittish breed. You have to kind of announce your presence before putting your hand down or they freak out, more than most I noticed. But I had 2 that would jump into my hand when I would put it down, one female and one male. When I go out to the coop they all come...
I absolutely adore my Salmon Faverolles! 🥰
My first ones hatched Christmas day and my second on New Year’s Day.
They are the sweetest, silliest cutest chickens ever!! ♥️♥️♥️
I also love the fact that you can tell male from female by week 3ish.
Maybe a fox… they just snatch em up and go bury the catch until they are ready to eat it. They will keep coming back until they get all or until it gets too hard or risky to get the last few.
Sorry, 😞 unfortunately I’m speaking from experience last spring. I caught it on camera.
I have 4...
