Liege Fighter Information

[Blw18]

Next week, I will be receiving around a dozen liege fighter chicks. Good information on the internet is few and far between and I don’t know what’s truly accurate. Does anyone have any first hand experience with the breed and could give me a good rundown of them?

 

[Blw18]

Yeah I’ve read that they need a little higher protein feed than normal but I’m not sure. Mine should be shipping out tomorrow so I’ll post pics as soon as they are all settled in whenever they come in. I’m really excited about getting the opportunity to raise these birds. I joined a liege fighter Facebook group and that’s been helpful seeing what other birds breeders have and how they care for them.

@Pyxis has some or is getting some soon

I can’t wait till you post pictures.

I’d never heard of this breed, but now I’m in love with the roosters!!

 

[Blw18]

Oh you bet I will. I’ve been looking for some for a really long time.

I'm welcoming some soon as well, I will be following this thread and looking forward to information and updates. Any input on good rooster feed would be welcome, I assume at their size they will need something a little extra.

Do you have just one chick color or are there multiples?

 

[Blw18]

It’s a lot of different colors. There’s blues of different shades, black, different browns, and mixes all in between. I’m not really sure what some of them will turn out looking like. They all look different in markings, shades, etc. I’ll take some better pics when I get home from work of them outside of the brooder. That red light makes it hard to see different colors.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Oh I love them even more. I'm not a huge fan (besides shiny black ones) of breeds with only one color

 

[Blw18]

Me neither. That’s one of the things that drew me to them. I found it great that all these color varieties of different combinations are bred together and you never know what you’re going to get. In other breeds, mixes of color varieties always seem to be treated like mutts.
