Liege Fighter

[1cock2hens]

I saw that greenfire farms is going to have The Liege Fighter, aka Luikse Vechter / anybody have any info on this bird and it's temperament towards other fowl? Website says they are generally friendly to people but doesn't mention if they are aggressive towards other birds/ I imagine they would be since they are gamefowl. Any other information about them would be wonderful too, I would love to see pics if any of our overseas members have them, they are absolutely gorgeous birds

I actually so happened to save a link to a webpage regarding this breed quite a while back, very interesting and informative:

I agree. If I had more room, I would love to raise them.

I have two chicks, was wondering the same thing. So far they aren’t fighting as much as the cemani chicks did so I was wondering if they were going to be ladies...

Way to early to tell.

Way to early to tell.

That was the day they came in, they’re about a month old now and all legs

Should be able to tell by 6weeks or so once feathered in and comb development if not usually by 12wk saddle feathers are prompt.
