I think I identified my rooster's breed

[trackfodder]

I stumbled on the Belgian bearded d'Anvir group and it seems consistant with Gen Grant. He has the single small comb, showy blue-black tail feathers and hackles, and russet body. The build is about right also. He is a magnificent animal and consistant with the "mainly decorative" use for them. His li'l pullet thinks he is a rock star. Geez, just realized she needs a name. She is a bearded RIR and we just refer to her as the bearded lady.
