Tell me about it, even for non showers, just people who really enjoy a nice tail. My not so scientific method of observation has led me to believe that serama do not always know what a tail *is*. Two of the pullets keep their tails in good condition. The other likes to squash herself next to the...
Wait till you see their YT. One hamburg had a really bad case of scaly leg mites, and nails longer than my list of plants. They don't seem to breed the healthiest of birds...
that's really unfortunate. There should be some way for the judges to be kept in check, I guess. Or just have judges...
I think I've observed the same here. We're not the best example, because we literally have almost nothing. Did some digging, found a seller of D'Anvers hatching eggs https://farmadias.gr/product/barbu-danvers/
. Yeah, parent stock doesnt look the greatest. I've definitely remember you...

That's a shame. D'Anvers are my favourite Belgian bantam breed, followed by either the De Watermael, or the D'Everberg. D'Uccle are my least favourite out of all of those. If I didn't have serama, I'd keep these guys, the Belgians are my second favourite bantam "group"
I agree, and have noticed the same. Even here, where "pet" keeping is pretty much non-existent, and almost all birds are expected to become decent dinner, there has been a massive increase in bantam keeping and breeding. It is less costly, and easier on people. As more and more pet keepers get...
