    Barbu de Watermael thread?

    He is a rooster, just appears to be a late bloomer. I originally thought him to be a pullet even though I saw his rooster feathers.

    One of my d’Anvers looks like a d’Grubbe right now as she molts, lol.

    Yeah, a Watermael comb is just a rose comb with three spikes. No difference in viability. It’s already screwed up. 😅

    Yeah, your young girls are fortunate he’s the only rooster. Fortunately, a cockerel can’t bully hens, they let him know when they’ve had enough. 😅

    My four month (almost five month) Buckeye and Welsummer cockerels are now in the stage where they discover their sexuality. And the pullets are laying eggs. I had to remove them from the pullets (since there were more cockerels than pullets and the poor girls were getting beat up.) Isn’t growing...

    Sounds like me, but with Buckeye coloring. I’m getting perfect wings and surface color on the males, but the females get all kinds of unevenness and black flecks. However, I find that it’s any every other year thing. One year, one sex will be far superior, the next the other will be. I think it...

    The second part I agree with. The first part, however, well Stripes is two years old, he's my aggressive one.

    Barbu de Watermael thread?

    Hmm, that's Belgian bantams for you. The reason for their behavior is that they have no respect for you. If he really is attacking when you turn your back and not just biting when you grab him then I can understand why you'd want to get rid of him. I have a pet cuckoo d'Anvers and he attacks us...

    So gorgeous. What camera did you use? How did you edit them?

    Yeah, I went and looked. He hatched from some tailed d’Anvers. Most likely a non-genetic anomaly. Sarah, don’t sell your cockerel! How else will you get babies?

    Bean. On the American d’Anvers Facebook page I think I saw someone starting a d’Grubbe project. Not sure how they acquired the rumpless cockerel. Since it is a dominant gene it is probably not genetic (in other words, that project has no chance) or I guess it could have been a spontaneous mutation.

    All of the Belgian breeds are Barbu, since that means bearded. They are similar to d'Anvers but there are differences as well, like the crest, the comb, and the type.

    The tail feathers should have the yellow edging like the pic. She’s definitely just a light black quail based on this picture. It’s just so bluish in the other ones. Maybe lighting, who knows. In quail females the black should be a chocolatey black and this picture shows this.
