Update with pics. These are my two keepers. I believe they are both Svarthona x Fayoumi Here are the others

No there is also a hedemora roo

I agree with that. And I’m thinking I will separate them over the winter only because I won’t be able to fit The proper number of hens in that coop with two roosters. Just put a few eggs into lockdown. There is at least one 55 flowery and the others are fayoumi and fayoumiX (that little fayoumi...

Update! All hens except the hedemora have been laying. They started around 20 weeks. Stuck a few eggs in the incubator and they seem to be developing well. Going to try to hatch out 6. Also decided to add a Russian orloff into the mix. I bought 6 eggs from breeder lines. Mostly for temperament...

That’s amazing! My current broodies lean more toward being aggressive haha. Our barn cat is now afraid of chickens… It’s those kinds of instincts that I think are really important. Like a livestock guardian dog instead of being scared of or aggressive towards everything, actually evaluating...

New picture update. I rehomed the two fayoumiX pullets that had crests. I’m just not interested in having to breed that gene out. Probably recessive in the one remaining fayoumi x but not worried about it. I also got a female sexed order from MPC: 2 Sumatra, 1 bbs Andalusian, lavender orp...

Everyone is doing well, now im waiting on them to mature and start mating. You can bet I’ll probably be naughty and try to hatch pullet eggs haha. The boys are just starting to crow. They’re all about 3.5 months ish (born Feb 3) with the exception of the fayoumi who is 9 months. I expect the...

Thought I’d post some updated pics of the Swedes and fayoumi cross babies. They had their first day outside today.

Had a hawk attack today, took one of my OEGB hens. Not two weeks after rehoming my geese :he. Thinking about adding liege fighter to the mix. They are very large but I think it would complement what the end result will be. It would definitely help make them more of a dual purpose chicken. I have...

Ok so the name isn’t great but like all things, it’s a work in progress. Some background is that I love to do all kinds of things… with a twist. As far as chickens go, I have always been fascinated with Egyptian Fayoumis. Aside from the fact that they are uncommon, they are amazing birds for...
