This situation, while regrettable, offers an important reminder of the need for preparedness in these initial stages. It is our goal not only to provide healthy chicks but also to ensure you feel fully supported with comprehensive care information from the start. We stand ready to assist and guide our customers through every step of their poultry-keeping journey, offering resources and expert advice to ensure a positive experience. We’re here for you and committed to the well-being of every bird that leaves our care.
“I wrote a review in 2017 after purchasing these birds when a strong strain of Merek‚Äôs took out all of my others. These Fayoumi‚Äôs are still thriving and have not succumbed to the horrific virus. No symptoms. Just wanted to give hope to those who think they can‚Äôt have chickens anymore due to having Merek‚Äôs on their property. The only thing I will add is they never got tame as time went on. They still throw themselves up against the coop like I‚Äôm coming in to murder them even though I‚Äôve only given them treats and food all their life! Wish I could have other breeds, but they‚Äôre better than nothing.”
“Our family loves a challenge and reading all the reviews of Fayoumis made us want to see if we could tame one. Scarab got a lot of attention when she was small and though she is alert, I wouldn't call her flighty. When she is in the mood she will happily perch on our arms and she likes to be around us. She has remained fast friends with the chickens she was raised with but she is a joy to watch and she tolerated the summer heat well. I would certainly add more of these to my flock in the future.”
