Liege Fighter Rooster?

[lauraorloff]

Does anyone know where I can find a Liege Fighter Rooster for purchase? Looking for one to protect my flock of hens from hawks. Thank you!

It won't protect your flock from anything , that's a huge social media myth.

You'd probably be better off with an Ayam cemani, or if you're zoned for it, geese.

The best way to protect your birds from hawks is a covered run.

Yes. We use netting

Interesting. Did not know Ayam Cemanis were more protective. Thanks for your response. We use netting, but still want a more protective rooster. Know roosters can be protective because our last one (before our netting was perfected) saved a hen from one.

Does anyone have any helpful information as far as the original question of where to find Liege chickens? I for one love the way they look and a giant chicken intrigues me!

Lots of liege fighter hatching eggs on eBay. But if you're after a giant chicken, you can also look at Indio Gigantes, Shamo, or Malays.


And it's not so much that the Cemanis are that much more protective. I've heard it's because they look like big crows so scare some birds of prey away because they don't want to mess with crows (or ravens. Not sure which.)
