    Ended Non-APA/ABA Large Fowl Hen Show—2025 BYC Summer Fair

    @casportpony -- will there be admin review of the entries to see if they are APA? I know some color varieties aren't recognized, and I don't want to see some of the pretty ladies be dq'd for being in the wronge category

    Oh! I realize that something I did recently qualifies! Here is an illustration of a male and female Bielefelder chicks, showing their auto-sexing colors. The little girl's face is overworked, but I'm pleased with it as a first effort after YEARS. Medium: Prismacolor pencils on paper Size: ~ 6"x 6"

    Egyptian Fayoumis Thread!

    Newcastle and coccidia! I have been corresponding with a retired professor from the ISU lab that originally imported the flock. She confirmed that the hatchery with the most direct lineage to those birds is McMurray.

    Spontaneous Mutations? Split-Comb, Tassle, All-White?

    Update -- perhaps a clue? I noticed that a Fayoumi pullet I got this summer from the same hatchery as mom/grandmom has a sprig/possible split! 🤔

    Ah, interesting! I've heard 'transverse pencilling' to describe their plumage before. This is what happens when there's no standardization! :lol:

    Entry #1 Name: Zuul Breed: Egyptian Fayoumi, as a landrace they have no standard. I say she defies them. ;) Color: Autosomal dominant black barring, silver Age: 5 years old as of April 2025, she's a lil' crusty, but I love her and I'm proud of her. :celebrate A less serious image of her. No...

    I can see the silver/white coming from the Fayoumis. One of the F2 roos from a later hatching has a completely white (no black barring or stippling at all) head. I've named him "Sam" cause he looks like a bald eagle!

    It's a neighbor in walking distance, she got 5 chicks from me to raise up for her in-laws. She has no other youngsters. I'll be getting him a leg band and a blood draw later today, there are certain Fayoumi immune system genes that I'm using some lab science to isolate, so I can check to see...

    Spontaneous Mutations? Split-Comb, Tassle, All-White?

    Nope! They are fun to chicken-sit, but I don't keep them in my flock.

    Salmon Faverolle Cockerel - Late Bloomer or is Something Wrong?

    Yes, the curling at the ends -- you can see it on his wing tips, too. I THINK it has something to do with "hard feathering" but I have not had time to read up on it. 20-22% starter, wouldn't hurt to add probiotics or yogurt to their water. There's vitamins as well like Rooster Booster or...

    Spontaneous Mutations? Split-Comb, Tassle, All-White?

    I'm fine with answering questions to rule out, please don't be shy! :) No crested or silkies in my flock. This chick came out of a white egg, Zully Monster (the Fayoumi) is the only white egg layer in my flock (everyone else is brown or blue egger). She is about 5 years old, would that...

    Salmon Faverolle Cockerel - Late Bloomer or is Something Wrong?

    I've seen a lot of folks comment that their Favorelle boys seem to take a long time to develop. Mine is coming up on 2 months and still isn't fully feathered on his back, even though he does have his neckbeard coming in. I'm noticing a lot of curls on his feathers?

    Granddad is a Bielefelder. Grandma is a Fayoumi. They produced these two fellas, one of which is the white chick's dad. Who was totally smitten with 'mom', so the same Fayoumi dam is both mom and grandmother to the white chick... (note that the birds get taken out for photography, they...

    Spontaneous Mutations? Split-Comb, Tassle, All-White?

    This is why I'm in a tizzy -- the only roos around are a Bielefelder from McMurray, and half Fayoumi-half Bielefelder. Mom is a purebred Fayoumi. The birds are in a run, and none of my neighbors have roos.
