How to raise Fayoumi chicks

Raising Fayoumi chicks is similar to raising other breeds of chickens. Here are some general tips to keep in mind:

  1. Brooder: You will need a brooder to keep the chicks warm, dry, and safe. You can use a cardboard box or a plastic tub with a heat lamp or a brooder plate. The temperature should be around 95°F for the first week and decrease by 5°F each week until the chicks are fully feathered.

  2. Bedding: Use clean, dry bedding material such as wood shavings, straw, or shredded paper. Change the bedding regularly to keep it dry and prevent the buildup of bacteria.

  3. Feeding: Provide the chicks with a high-quality chick starter feed that contains at least 20% protein. You can also offer them small amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables as treats.

  4. Water: Make sure the chicks have access to clean, fresh water at all times. Use a shallow dish or a chick waterer to prevent drowning.

  5. Socialization: Fayoumi chicks are social creatures, so make sure they have enough space to move around and interact with each other. You can also handle them gently to help them get used to human contact.

  6. Health: Monitor the chicks closely for signs of illness, such as lethargy, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. Consult with a veterinarian if you notice any health problems.

By following these basic guidelines, you can ensure that your Fayoumi chicks grow up healthy and happy.
