How I fell for the fluff
Hi, I'm Megan! I've always felt a deep connection with chickens. Since I was young, I've kept hundreds of them, from nearly every breed you can name. But about five years ago, silkies stole my heart.
My first silkies were pet quality, with hardly any feathers on their heads. The more I researched them, the more I learned. There's a whole world of poultry shows, and dedicated breeders who raise silkies to the Standard of Perfection (SOP), the official breed standard that show birds are judged by. So that's exactly what I set out to do.
I'm honored to say chickens are my life's work. I'm studying to become an avian vet, and I'm enjoying every step of the way. It's a big part of why we keep strict biosecurity on the farm and vaccinate every chick for Marek's disease.
Today my husband Dakota and I run FancyFlock together. We're proud of the gorgeous birds we breed, and confident in our knowledge and the way we care for them. Our silkies are very spoiled and very loved, because to me they aren't just chickens. They're my pets.
