Our December SALT Pets of the Month are one stylish flock! This feathered family, belonging to Partner Todd Betor, was inspired by a touch of royalty. After binge-watching With Love, Meghan, Todd’s wife, Michelle, decided it was time to make her backyard chicken coop dream a reality.
The first step? Designing a home fit for the flock. With help from a local company, the Betors created a custom-built coop featuring a Dutch door, an automatic sleeping-area door, and even a rainwater collection system for the flock’s water bar. It’s as elegant as it is functional.
For the Betor family, these chickens are a source of calm and connection. Todd and Michelle’s kids love greeting their feathered friends each morning, and with three of the hens now laying eggs, farm-fresh breakfasts have become commonplace in their house.
Meet the Nantucket-inspired flock:
- Nantucket Nancy
- Whaling Willow
- Harbor Henrietta
- Sconset Sally
- Cliffside Clara
- Grey Lady
From their chic coop to their charming names, Todd and Michelle’s chickens remind us that joy often comes with feathers!
