Looking for Egyptian Fayoumi

[S-t-o-n-e]

I purchased an order of Egyptian Fayoumi in the mail but they arrived dead, I originally only wanted two hens but I would be happy to change that order if someone is selling them, the other option is waiting until July which I really don’t want to do. Anyone who is selling Egyptian Fayoumi please respond to this thread.

For anyone who sees this I am in New Mexico.

Hi @S-t-o-n-e

There's not much info as of yet, but here's a link for the BYC Breeders' Directory. I hope that it helps.

Thank you, I went to check that out but it seems neither my state nor that breed are on that directory, so it was a dead end but thank you for your help.

Have you tried calling Privett? You would probably want to see if you could get someone to share an order with you, but they do list Fayoumis on their price sheet as hatching on Wednesdays.

I think that both Murray McMurray and Cackle have them. It's tougher than usual to get chicks in the mail right now, so it likely would be better to get some within driving distance if possible.
I had one, years ago, a cute cockerel that came as extra from MMcM. Adorable!
I hope you can find some...

Have you checked the Livestock Conservancy website, or feathersite? If there's not a breed club, those sites might have leads. Was it Iowa State U. that had them?

Hello there, I got a surprise one from Murray McMurray. I think it is an egytian fayoumi. I am hoping it is a girl. Can you send me photos of yours so i can compare? We are a new chick family

These chicks mature VERY fast! Our cockerel started crowing at 28 days of age! You won't have long to wait to be sure who they are!
Look up feathersite online, their may be more photos there.

Thank you very much. Peep will be 4 weeks tomorrow. I'll keep crossing my fingers.
