Hello everyone!
I am planning out my coop and breeds to get, and I am just wondering how will these 2 breeds get along?
I understand that Egyptian fayoumis are a skitch bird, and tend to be not so friendly to humans, but i am wondering what are they like with other breeds of chicken?
Also, how friendly are the Rhode island reds? do they deal well with such a skitch bird?
I am thinking about having 4-5 Egyptian Fayoumies hens and rooster, with 3-4 Reds just hens. I am thinking about having them mixed in one enclosed chicken run (with a roof) and coop. We get a lot of predators around here (eagles, racoons, owls, possums, stray cats)
I haven't gotten anything yet, also i am planning out the size of everything as well. But i am just wondering even if these 2 breeds are cool with each other.
Doing some research, and it seems that Fayoumis, and Reds, are not always broody. So i am thinking of getting a Cochin, or maybe a silkie to become my main broody hen? or is that just random?
