I have noticed a lot of posts on beard picking on this forum, and I was hoping BYC members could help me acquired photos of different bearded breeds with and without their beards (whether from picking or molting). I am trying to see how many breeds have dewlaps and how the presence of a dewlap...

I was unsure where to post this, actually. Is this the best forum? I raise d’Anvers and have had issues with beard picking from time to time. This makes it challenging to select my breeders properly. However, I have started to notice differences in the looseness of the skin around the face in...

Now that the 2022 season has come to a close, I am gearing up for the 2023 season. This year I plan on selling hatching eggs and I would like to attempt shipping chicks. For those of you with experience shipping chicks, do you have any tips? I already got some chick shipping boxes with padding...

Ok, I've been breeding d'Anvers for a while and this one is leaving me puzzled. This little guy came out of my solid (black/blue/splash) d'Anver breeding pen. It is noteworthy to mention that my solids have been outcrossed to my Quail d'Anvers in the past for fresh blood. This usually results...

Calm, gentle Splash Watermaal bantam rooster. This is a very rare breed in the United States. He is just under a year and I was hoping somebody might be interested in taking on an unusual breed. Unfortunately, I do not have any Watermaal females to go with him (I have 5 males and three...

Photos are of the actual birds for sale - there is a pair of Black d'Anvers, a pair of Blue d'Anvers, a couple of Splash Quail pullets, a pair of Silver Quail, **a Blue Silver Quail**, and two Quail cockerels and several Quail and Blue Quail pullets. Most of these chicks are right about 8...

I have a HUGE batch of started birds that are getting too big for their pen and need to be thinned out to ensure everybody has enough room. The following colors are available: 7 Quail - potentially show quality 5 Blue Quail - some are potentially show quality 1 Silver Quail pullet (center of...

Every so often I transport a bird, usually a pullet (although occassionally a cockerel) individually penned in those wooden compartmentalized chicken carriers and end up having this problem: when I reach my destination (usually a show or to a potential buyer) I pull them out and all they can do...

This auction is for 3 9-week old Belgian Bearded d'Anver pullets. The Quail is potentially show quality (has no disqualifying faults as of the current moment and comes from good background). She is a bit dark and could use some more lacing but shows promising type. Would be great for breeding...

Ok, for all those folks out there who are a fan of the Belgian tribe, this is the third main member of this bantam tribe that is a bit overshadowed by the d'Uccle and the d'Anver. There was a post on here titled "Watermaalsche Bantams" but I thought I would restart the thread with the...

A pen of my Quail d'Anvers are laying well - fertility has been about 85% so far for the first batch I set. There is one Blue Quail hen in this pen that is laying, so there is a chance of an occassional Blue Quail chick hatching out, but the majority should be Quail. Eggs will be collected and...

Hello, I acquired some white d'Anvers last year and have recently decided to try to show the two pullets I hatched from my original pair. I am used to showing other varieties of d'Anvers, but most other varieties need very little pre-show maintenence. The whites, however, are not only the...

Out of show quality lines, showing great potential, ABA banded. Will ship but please check with me first to make sure overnight is garaunteed. Also, you will need to order a shipping box and have it mailed to me.

Young 8 week old d'Anver pair, hatched from separate breeding pens. Blue Quail Cockerel has sealed 2010 ABA band. Pullet is Quail colored and is also banded, but with a leftover 2009 ABA sealed legband. Out of show quality parents. Will ship, but buyer must send a shipping box and $40 to...

Two 8 week old pullets that are both 3/4 d'Anver, 1/8 silkie and 1/8 japanese bantam. One is Brown Red colored, the other is Lemon blue colored and both look very much like d'Anvers (no crests or feathered feet or anything). Local pick-up preferred and shipping charges will not apply if they...

Hello! I am in need of a single stall shipping container for chickens that is USPS approved. I have seen them available online but they come in packages that cost an outrageous amount of money and I only need one. Thanks in advance to anyone that might be able to help! thanks, Kristen
