A Liege Fighter thread? Why was I not here before? Or maybe I was, and forgot I had commented. I don't have any of this breed, though. Either way, I love Liege Fighters and I am here!

Hello everyone.
I wanted to ask if the Liege fighter hens are broody?

Generally no.

My Liege Fighters that came from my old friends stock from Brussels Belgium.

I know that this thread is old… I am very interested in expanding the breed’s genetic diversity and am wondering if you are selling any LV hatching eggs or chicks.

Hey, not sure if this is all that helpful cause I’m not sure of the quality of their birds, but I have 5 Liege’s that I raised from eggs that I bought from DC heritage poultry in Quebec. I’ve read some very mixed reviews on them but they are the only place I’ve found in Canada to get a lot of more unique breeds from. And so far the health of all my lieges has been good personally But I am a rather rookie chicken keeper and can’t say I really know if they are good quality/conforming well to the breeds standards, however I think mine are quite beautiful haha.

DO NOT order from DC Heritage Poultry!! Unscrupulous and practicing animal cruelty based on so many sick chicken posts. For me, I ordered 24 Fertilized Jubilee Orpington eggs - ZERO fertility rate - then when I brought this to their attention, they emailed and admitted to using an old rooster with a low fertility rate. ZERO! They replaced eggs with only 16 Jubilee, 2 lavender and 6 chocolate laced Orpington eggs - 20 were unfertilized again and 3 were clearly NOT Orpingtons at all, 2 may be Legbar, 1 is unknown, they admitted putting random egg in by mistake and the other chick, who knows what it is. $12 an egg. Plus knowing they sent unfertilized eggs, they still charged me an additional $72 for shipping. Looks like they switched from a puppy mill to a chicken mill! Anyone having this experience should also report them to the Quebec Government site for ensuring animal safety and welfare. quebec.ca/en/agriculture-environment-and-natural-resources/animal-health/ensuring-animal-safety-welfare
There is an online form for reports or you can call 1-844-264-6289

I do have pictures of my adults, haven’t done a photo shoot on all the young ones; there are a couple different groups that are staggered in age by a week or 2. Somewhere around 30 or so total. Yes, I can ship. Can you send me a message with more details of what you’re looking for? Like black/silver, black/gold, blue, splash… cockerel or pullets or both? It will make for less peeps to catch and photograph

Here is a pullet growout pic for example. I have black/silver, black/gold pullets and cockerels available in this age group, about 12 weeks. The next younger group at 9 weeks old have more blues and a couple of splash in it too
