d'anver lovers,discuss the breed and post some pics!

[Boggy Bottom Bantams]

One addition to JJs list above. Also remember that since youre crossing to a red based bird ( porcelain) all those solids will have red leakage to them. Very hard to clean up. Especially in the male birds

Porcelain is red based? I thought it was lavender x mottled.

Porcelain is Mille Fleur with the addition of the lavender gene, so red from the base color of the Mille.

Oh! That makes sense. Still learning these things, and it's incredibly helpful to know.

Anyone have any black mottled or split hatching eggs? If so, please let me know.

I don't know about anyone else, but my D'Anvers are not laying. I get one egg every three or four days from seven hens. So, I think only one hen is even laying, period.

Hi! We are thinking about getting some D'anver hens from you. We would email through your site before we'd come.
We would like some information on the breed too, though.

My newest Belgian d'Anvers bantams at 6 months showing off their full adult plumage. Love these little beauties! The little cockerel is the tamest we have ever had, he lets us pick him up with no fuss and as you can see, just settles and fluffs out his feathers fetchingly!

Thank you Aubrey and Aimee at Boggy Bottom Bantams!

We went with Aubrey for our bantam phoenix, quite pleased with them as well.
