Maureen Cooke

Maureen Cooke breeds chickens in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She has been raising this breed for several years and follows standards set by national poultry associations to ensure birds meet recognized conformation and health metrics. Her farm uses rotational pasturing and seasonal flock movement to maintain soil health and natural foraging opportunities for both chicks and adult birds. All birds are raised in a spacious barn and daily access to outdoor runs supports natural behaviors.

Her approach centers on gentle handling from day one and consistent health screening for common poultry ailments. The flock lives in a mix of pasture and barn settings with high-quality feed and regular veterinary checks. She participates in regional poultry shows and informal workshops to share her experience with fellow enthusiasts. Careful record-keeping and a focus on balanced genetics aim to support both productivity and well-being.
