Meet Ferdinand, the Belgian Bearded D'uccle Rooster!

Well, it turns out that I have inherited another new bird from some good friends who had too many roosters. He will complete my Mille Fleur Belgian Bearded D'uccle breeding pair, so I can have purebreds. Here he is:

The new guy, fondly named Ferdinand. Isn't he beautiful?

As with the other birds I have acquired in the last month or so, I will show Ferdinand at the county fair this year. He already seems to be practicing for the crowing contest! I'm sure this guy will settle down and make a great Dad for all of the chicks I plan to hatch.

Thank you Deanna, Eli, and Emmet, for this wonderful rooster!
