I was very surprised to discover that my young rooster had suddenly laid an egg!
In some chicken breeds it isn't easy to see the gender, especially when they're still young. The first signs in those breeds that give a clue about the gender is actually the behaviour. So when she started to crow, well...
It’s been a while since my last chicken story and I enjoy these funny feathered friends so much, they are such great characters. So I was very happy to be able to share this exciting new adventure with you guys.
For those of you wondering, I got her early this year as an egg. She is a Barbue du Grubbe, in Dutch a "Grubbe baardkriel", meaning: they have a beard (baard) and kriel means it's a small breed (bantam) and they originate from Grubbe. That's a part of the city of Antwerp in Belgium. This breed is the tailless variation of the Barbue d'Anvers (in Dutch Antwerpse baardkriel).
