Run Away Chicken Breed

[MadamContrary]

The owner might not be feeding them well enough. You would be surprised how many people think you can just turn chickens out and they will find everything they need. Being a breed like that one would think they know better tho.

That's was my initial assumption. I have gone over and knocked twice now to ask them what's going on. I know they've had these birds for at least a year, because I could hear them, Fayoumis have a very unique sounding voice. I'm actually starting to wonder if they're out of town or maybe even moved and left the birds? I saw a bunch of rose combed Easter egger looking birds in the yard directly behind our house and I know they don't belong there so assume they're coming through a hole on the fence between the yards. The Fayoumi can fly, so she just goes over the fence no problem.

Newest addition from the neighbor's flock. I'm thinking they may have moved and left the birds behind. No one answers when I knock. Anyone know what breed? I need to Google.

What kind of comb does she have?

I thought it was a rose comb from afar, I don't actually know what this is called.

I have to say, it's a shame they are losing birds, but I can't complain
This is literally chicken math, run amuck!

I believe that she is an Egyptian Fayoumi.

I was thinking the same^

I need chicken-owning neighbors.
