We offer Hatching eggs, Chicks (unsexed), Juveniles or Breeders. Contact us for availability - the Roosters are the most popular. We also go for quality, not quantity. Healthy birds that are pure bred is our priority.
Hatching Eggs - please be aware that the reason Lieges are expensive is because they are one of the harder breeds to get fertility. Our hatch rate is around 75%, at higher humidity (~50-55%) and temp of 99.5. Add the stress of shipping eggs and this rate may be much lower. If someone tells you all the eggs will hatch for sure, be aware. We highly recommend a transporter for shipment, regardless if eggs or Chicks, contact us for available routes.
The Liege Fighter, aka Luikse Vechter or Combattant de Liege in French, is an endangered Belgian Breed of Gamecock. Dating from the late 19th Century it is one of three Belgian breeds, the other two being the Brugse Vechter and the Tiense Vechter, that was specifically bred for fighting. Yes, that is the original purpose of this breed, so don't let anyone fool you into thinking otherwise.
Roosters were bred to fight - and win - without enhanced metal spurs or sharpened beak, which is the reason it is the largest of the breeds, with large, powerful legs the size of a turkey and an incredibly imposing, upright stance that towers over any other rooster. An adult rooster can grow to more than 30” in height and weigh up to 12 lb. With their sharp-penciled feathering and their often black skin, fierce gaze and muscular, upright stance they are truly a striking bird unlike no other. Their intimidating size alone will make a hawk think twice about approaching the flock, and should they try you will truly see what a Liege Fighter is capable of. They are excellent flock guardians and absolutely fierce in protecting their hens. The Hens are no slouches either. Tall and intelligent they are usually also guarding the heard as Alpha Hens and make sure everyone is alerted to danger.
Despite their appearance, Liege Fighters are generally pretty docile with their humans, especially when they get used to them early on. Ours are curious, super intelligent and calm and can be found hanging out on the porch with us quite often.
This breed is an absolute joy to watch, and we have a lot less hawks nesting around since we got them. Guess they ran out of food since the Lieges are an excellent deterrent.
