Yeah, it doesn't seem very natural for them to lie down when they roost upright.

Awwwwww!!

Naughtiness

Anything is possible though. When I crossed this one with the Dominique I discovered she carried the yellow skin gene. 😅

I thought that but the F1 male has an unrelated d’Anver dam from the F1 hens. The chance of both cuckoo d’Anvers hens carrying lavender is pretty slim. This is the only one I hatched like this out of dozens (mind there were multiple mothers and not all might carry lavender in this theoretical...

Hmm well you see… the more I think about it… Years ago when I got my first cuckoo d’Anvers pair the male died quickly an unexpectedly. But a lot of cuckoo d’Anver males have a very light cuckoo coloring so I’m wondering if that’s coming out… I don’t have any complete pictures of him but you can...

F1s and F2s are so interesting because you can breed a bunch of identical looking birds together and get totally random results. But I was not expecting the “lightening” genes to line up just so in a way to produce such a pale cuckoo male. It almost looks like sex-linked dilution He almost looks...

Sometime I take a glance at it. Considering white is recessive I think it could easily get distributed throughout the feral population.

No that’s fair If you go on a laptop it is less vehement about that. I remember when I used to read a blog without an account for a long time before deciding I wanted to make one to interact with the poster. And now I have three blogs how could this happen.

I don’t ever sell hatching eggs because mine don’t hatch very well.

😔😢😭🪦

Most of the time they were cheeping their heads off My sweatshirt was the only safe place

No I don't, my hatchrates are far too poor for that, although my mom has shipped *one* Welsummer bantam. I do have a Facebook page though. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078799238800

If you have d’Anvers and want to post or chat about them, this is the thread for it. Sorry, I forgot to give you context.

Less can be more, And small can be beautiful, For life isn't all Just big and wonderful. And what do I need, When you get right down to it? All my cares come from greed, And it's time that I knew it. Things I can't do without Are the small things that life is all about. Less can be more, And...

You gotta break the variety to fix it sometimes.

Probably I will avoid trying to sell shipped birds. There is enough local demand, people nearby ask for my birds, they practically sell themselves. I need to start writing a wait list down, lol. But that was a special case. Welsummer bantams are a harder sell (unless you drive to a poultry swap...

Mom shipped a bird for the first time. All the way to California. It was a bantam Welsummer cockerel. We have been NPIP for a two years now, but nobody ever comes to inspect the farm, lol. Shipping is possible but it’s super expensive, like 80 dollars for one bantam. And that person paid for...
