Wild chick,we haven't had any crosses yet. I just found this nest yesterday. I was half surprised,and half not
We have 8 roosters total,7 of which are breeding,and 5 of which are mainly the ones who have ready access to the Fayoumis hen.
Her offspring could be any of those roosters offspring
We...
Going to try starting my Fayoumis cross line. I want to cross them into my mixed breed flock to work with disease resistance breeding.
My Fayoumis hen is laying eggs in a hidden nest I found,so I'm going to leave it and see if she goes broody and hatches them
I think seramas are a great breed.
I own a pair,and plan to breed them and plan to buy more at some future point when I have better pens,

Here's that pullet with the pox. Taken two days after I brought her inside. Her foot is lifeted because I got the pic just as she was jumping off my shoulder to the top of my iPad. She still loves me and people.
Oh,you want me to share the pics of those birds? I mean,I'm glad o share if you would like, pics just taken the other day
You know what,I got you fam. I'll just upload them anyway. That way we can all see they are happy and all.
So,it's okay to go around bashing me all over now Rae?
For starters,let just say all those birds are back to good health now.
Second,you knew I was taking care of their health as I brought them inside and put them under a heat lamp. Put them on vitamins and electrolytes in their water. Within a...
Hopefully the project will work for you. Post some pics of these chicks. I'm excited to see how they look. But you will have to watch for signs of sultan. You're looking for sultan type,but different colors. Don't let the white take over. Also,look into the history of the sultan breed. See what...
To make more colors of the sultan breed,I would work with birds that have a general weigh/look to them similar to the sultan. Like,I would use polish,or d'uccle might work if you definitely want color. Cross them to a pure sultan chicken,hen or rooster,and then that offspring cross,cross it...
Lol. Those do wound like interesting crosses...another cool cross would be with a silkie and if ever available to the general poultry keeper,true ameraucana bantams. That would make a smooth feathered blue egglayer...which the offspring could be crossed to create silkie feathered,blue egg(should...
This is a thread for those of us who are working with breeding chickens for certain traits,looks,sizes,etc. This isn't a thread for already created breeds,so please limit info/breeding projects pertaining to that. This threas is for people who are crossing breeds/mix breeds for certain...
@Folly's place@JessHeller@JimArcherthank you for the info@JessHeller,Fayoumi hens can crow????I have never heard that,lol. I was reading up on them. @JimArcher I read that roosters will take part in raising the chicks,especially in multi rooster flocks. They will divide up duties. Like gathering...
Okay,I'm gonna join this thread,because I got my first Fayoumi frommeyer hatchery. I love it already. It has spindly legs,awesome coloring,and such a weird,spunky personality. But I have a few nooby questions. What age do cockerels start crowing? What age do pullets start laying? How predator...
