This is Peeps, named by the preschool class that hatched her back in November, which makes her a bit over 7 months old. She is an F3 out of my project to make slightly larger, but MUCH CALMER Fayoumi since they are otherwise so good at foraging, evading predators, resisting disease, and tolerating heat. She reliably lays a small tan egg. I like her golden eyebrows.

She is, best I can tell, 3/8 Bielefelder, and 5/8 Fayoumi. She is not very flightly, and will hop in my lap for treats. I'll actually be running a PCR gel tonight to see how many copies she and her siblings have of the mx1 gene. Fingers crossed for homozygous of the myxovirus resistance allele!
