My husband and I will be ordering chicks this spring. He wants Sussex and I want to get Egyptian Fayoumis to cross breed as I read they are immune to the avian flu virus. We live in a neighborhood that is not partial to chickens, although it is not against the law to do so (we have raised chickens before - mostly Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks). I am worried about our roosters escaping again. Is the Fayoumis a good breed for a backyard chicken?
