Breed?

[Paz]

Hello, got this one in Jordan, from a farmers markte. about three and a half months old, probably a female, there’s a picture of its cockerel fiend for comparison. Very skittish, and unfriendly towards me. Took ages to take a reasonable picture. Male is supposedly a Fayoumi.

The comb makes me say Golden Campines but the feathers make me say Golden Penciled Hamburg.

I'm thinking campine due lighter color but I'm no expert

She doesn’t have the correct comb and feet colour to be a hamburg.
And is the male really a Fayoumi?
Edit: could they be the same breed?

I breed compines the hen is a pure compine but the rooster cross I think

Alrighty, thanks mate. I was kind of hoping both of them would be Fayoumies, but apparently none are.
I have two more silver penciled. So I would guess they’re the same cross as the rooster?

 

[Serge rozhkov]

The hens are both pure silver compines

Thanks mate, so it isn’t relevant that I got them in an Arab country, I guess, I have a bunch of campines

Wow! What beautiful birds. Ignore the misinformation posted by people who think they’re experts. Any small bit of research would have told them that there are two varieties of Fayoumis-gold and silver, the former is just not found or at least not readily found in the US. If they were sold as Fayoumi, I have no doubt they’re Fayoumis because they match breed characteristics. On another note-Campine males are hen-feathered and yours isn’t which further proves he’s a Fayoumi. Additionally, Hamburgs have rose combs and your birds have single combs.

Oh ok, so since they were not sold in America, they are Fayoumi?
