You want them to bob and weave? A producer in the barnyard hopefully well muscled enough to produce for the pot? I love the idea.

I propose:

Barnyard Boxer or
Egyptian Harrier

How about “The Spirko”? You can’t go wrong there.

How about, “The Isle of Rhodes Fayoumi”?

OK, OK so the Isle of Rhodes is Greek and not Egyptian. But, go back far enough (Pangea) and they were practically the same place!

I’m not too good at this but here are a couple of easy ones:
1) Red Egyptians
2) Egyptian Islands
3) Chickants
4) Texas Cross
5) Jack’s Raider

“Ginger Youmi”?

If things don’t work out, maybe try a Welsummer instead of Rhode Island Red. Welsummers are dual meat/egg layers, mild mannered, good foragers, and make great big eggs. They are less common that Rhode Island Reds, but I find them superior in every way. They are also nice to look at – nice red and brown color with really neat golden manes.

I had Welsummers, unfortunately they were also jerks. Orpingtons are fantastic though.

Hmmm…Fayode, Fayrhode, FaRho, Redoumi, Okrips Cross.

Thanks for all you do, Jack. TSP has been great help to our family over the last few years. We got our first chickens (three buffs) a few months ago. Loving every minute of it!

How about “Sex-link Survivor” for a name. Your female looks exactly like the Sicilian Buttercup hen that I have, but without the distinctly buttercup comb.

Kelly Black

Simply call it the Spirko. Named after the man who created the breed, but also representing an improvement in the practicality and production of the chicken.

I suggest “Providence Pharaoh” as the name for a cross for a Rhode Island and an Egyptian.

Rhodoumis is what it should be. Sticking to the way thoroughbreds are named when crossed. Then the next generation would be what ever if so choose.

How about simply “Survivor”?
Some other options:

SS Red (SS being Self Sufficient)

I also thought about “ForYouAndMe”, like a play on Fayoumi, lol!

Fayrhodon

Derived from Pharoah (top guy in Egypt) for the Egyptian Fayoumi. Rhode Island is derived from the Island of Rhode (derived from Roses / Rhodon) in Greece.

So it’s a play on combining Egyptian Pharoah with Fayoumi and Rhode/Rhodon. (And gets a slight tip for sounding like pteradon (winged toothless)

I would call it:

Rhodoumi Red
Rhodoumi White

or whichever color stays most constant with the breed.

I like the suggestion, already made, for Alamos.

Look up Kraienkoppe, a breed I raised for over 10 years. It may already have most of the qualities you’re looking for, as well as being a phenominal mother.

Rhode Runner.

I love watching the road runners here as they run around. Sounds like what you want this cross to do.

Jack, here’s my suggestion. Survival Pride. They are handsome birds. Looks like lots of us chimed in. Chickens bring lots of interest. Keep us informed regarding coop chatter.

Chris from MA

Jack,
Aren’t you concerned about variations in the f2+ generations? Hybrids in chickens work just like hybrids in plants, and you may end up with a whole bunch of different chickens with different traits, that need to be “proven out”. Breeding them to a different bird for f2 will ev n further muddy the genetic waters. Won’t you end up with a bunch of totally different birds with totally different traits, producing totally different birds with totally different traits in the following generations?

Chris from MA
10 years ago

Fair enough Jack!
Maybe you should do a show on breeding animals, because you have talked a lot about your plans, but you haven’t gone into much detail on what is involved, and although you are experienced at breeding, I bet a ton of your listeners aren’t and would love to know more.

Chris from MA

And it’s too bad there is already a freedom Ranger… Woulda been a perfect name seeing as you have tsp and the traits you are looking for…

I agree Jack you should do a show about breeding! Also My vode to a breed name is Diamond Jack since diamonds are red. At least the card suit is. LOL

Fayoum is a region in Egypt, and that add the “i” at the end to indicate that its from that region ,, so I would suggest FayRhodi !
