What color eggs do Egyptian Fayoumis lay?

[Eliza1313]

When I go to different hatchery pages some put them as laying white eggs and other as tinted? Just curious if they were actually white, or so light of a tint as to be almost white, or something darker. Thanks.

Most white egg layers actually lay a slightly off-white or tinted egg - the white eggs from the store have often been bleached to a whiter shade.

Fayoumis lay off-white eggs.

Thanks. I did straight runs of the breeds this time around. Appears I ended up with a 50/50 split on the Fayoumis, so I have 3 future roosters. Know at least one will be culled from the flock. Possibly two, but was thinking of keeping a second one to cross with my EEs.

You're welcome, and good luck with your Fayoumis.
