Welcome to Silver Fox Farm!

We are a small five-acre homestead nestled in Western Massachusetts. We’ve kept chickens for nearly two decades, and for several years shared our flock nationwide through our breeding program before our professional lives took us in a different direction.

Though our breeding program is closed, we still love raising chickens and are passionate about sharing our knowledge and experience with others through this blog.


Here, you’ll find in-depth information on all aspects of chicken keeping, informed by our own experience (and extensive trial and error!). We are so glad you're here!
