I love the Egyptians they are so beautiful, and they will fit with the new color scheam of my flock. (Black and white with EE's thrown in

I'm sorry to say - if this is unwelcome news - that although you all keep calling this chick a "she", it is almost certainly a little boy - it is the way that McMurray's helps to get rid of excess male chicks. Just probably ought to count on that.

I know she is most likely he. But I will hold out hope until she lays an egg or crows

Well, according to everything I have read about this bird, is that they are extremely quick to mature and the roo's may even begin crowing by six week of age. Mine are not crowing yet, and they are three months old.

What else did you order? There is no reason to believe you have a rooster until it shows its sex. We got twenty five hens, got a total of thirty birds and so far I have identified only two roosters. I know there will be more roo's, but we keep praying : -) ; -) : -)

Good luck with your Fayoumi!!!

I got Barred Rocks, SLW, and EE's. I am fairly sure that one of the BR's is a roo. The rest pullets.

Well, good luck : -) ! It is so much fun !

I am sure I will find more roo's, too as we go along... But it is all good!

That is the fun of it!

 

[LittlenRedHen782]

At this point I am planning a breeding coop and run for Rock the Barred Rock roo and 3 or 4 ladies.

Don't know what I will do if I get more roos. So for now it is watch and listen.
