Character & features

Fayoumis are strong fliers and can be vocal when handled. Their patterned plumage is pencilled rather than genetically barred, another useful detail when comparing similar-looking breeds.

Match the birds to your purpose: a laying flock, an ornamental group or a planned breeding setup. Talk to us about the particular birds if temperament or handling is important to you.

Suitability & care

Use a secure enclosure with suitable overhead protection where needed. Give them room to explore and use calm, consistent handling.

Plan a flock around adult size, space and the balance of hens and cockerels. Have shelter, feed and fresh water ready before the birds arrive. Our chicken house and run guide helps you prepare the setup.
