Egyptian Fayoumis Chicks

Purely Poultry is excited to offer the energetic and distinctive Egyptian Fayoumis Chicks, a breed with a fascinating history and a vibrant presence. Originating from the Nile River region in Egypt, these birds carry with them the legacy of centuries-old poultry traditions. Their striking appearance, with shimmering silver and white plumage contrasted by bold black markings, makes them a true standout in any flock. 

Aside from their visual appeal, Egyptian Fayoumis are known for their quick maturity and lively personalities. Roosters often begin crowing as early as 5 to 6 weeks, making them one of the fastest maturing breeds available. Though small in size, with roosters weighing about 4.5 pounds and hens around 3 pounds, these birds are hardy, self-sufficient, and bursting with energy.

One of the breed’s most appealing traits is its excellent foraging ability. Egyptian Fayoumis are natural explorers and thrive in free-range environments where they can hunt for insects and other food sources. Their agility and flight skills help them avoid predators, making them a robust addition to your flock. Despite their smaller stature, they are highly resilient and adapt well to various climates, handling both hot and cool environments with ease.

As for their utility, Egyptian Fayoumis are reliable layers, producing around 150 to 180 small to medium-sized white-tinted eggs per year. While they may not lay as many eggs as some larger breeds, their lively spirit and charming personalities more than make up for it. Their occasional broody nature also makes them attentive mothers, offering the possibility of naturally raising chicks within your flock.

Although not yet officially recognized by the American Poultry Association, Egyptian Fayoumis continue to win the hearts of poultry keepers with their historic charm and independent nature. Whether you’re looking to add a unique breed to your flock or seeking a productive, self-sufficient bird, Egyptian Fayoumis offer a perfect balance of beauty, history, and practicality.
