There’s something quietly remarkable about the Egyptian Fayoumis — one of the oldest domesticated chicken breeds in the world, originating along the Nile Delta long before modern poultry keeping existed. When your chick arrives, you’ll notice it immediately: bright-eyed, quick on its feet, and alert to everything around it. This breed doesn’t settle into your lap, but it earns your respect.
Fayoumis are a rare choice for backyard flocks, homesteads, and breeding programs seeking heritage genetics. Hens lay cream to lightly tinted eggs and tend toward self-sufficiency — ideal if you value a low-input bird with deep roots.
Chicks are hatchery-sourced and ship February through early July. Order minimums vary by month (25 in January–March, 15 in April, 6 in May–September). Live Arrival and 48-Hour Livability guaranteed — report any concerns by phone within 48 hours of delivery. Have your brooder ready before they arrive.
All live-animal sales are final once fulfillment is booked.
