Luikse Vechter aka Liege Fighter Thread
Thank you!! All hens are different and will form their own personality, but I'll just say that my liege live with a variety of other breeds including orpingtons, RIR, australorp, phoenix mixes, and even an OEGB bantam with no trouble!- tinychicky

Luikse Vechter aka Liege Fighter Thread
Following up on the show, it was a fun weekend and I got to introduce many people to our amazing breed! I sold several extra stags and a few hatching eggs, gathered some interest in eggs and chicks come spring, and had a great conversation with a long time breeder of Malays who was very...- tinychicky

Chicks that wont eat chick starter!
I had one of these chicks this fall. Wouldn't eat anything but raw egg yolk. As time went on, I started hard boiling and finely chopping the egg, mixed with raw yolk, then on to chick crumbs sprinkled in the yolk. After about a week and a half, he was eating normally. Good luck with the little one!- tinychicky

Rescued Blue Swedish Drake - NH
This sweet Blue Swedish boy was abandoned by his former owner on a pond at my workplace in southern New Hampshire. We have photo evidence of him living with wild mallards since August, but after they flew away in search of food and open water, he was left alone, starving on the frozen pond...- tinychicky

Luikse Vechter aka Liege Fighter Thread
I realize this thread has not been used in over a year, but I wonder if anyone has tried entering liege in shows in the US? What was your experience? I am planning to enter two birds in a large upcoming show in the Northeast. I rather expect to be the only one with the breed and for the judges...- tinychicky

Landrace/adaptive breeding discussion
Hi there, I've been taking a break from internet and just saw this! That's a good question. To be honest, I don't really manage the culling. Natural selection takes care of a lot of it- any bird that is in less than perfect physical condition is not likely to make it in my predator dense area. I...- tinychicky

Dead owl INSIDE coop!!
I have friends who are federally permitted to work with live raptors in educational settings. The barn owls they care for are incredibly sensitive to stress. It's possible simply being trapped in the coop was stressful enough to have given the beautiful barn owl a heart attack :(- tinychicky
