I have barbu d'anvers and during the summer I was getting 4/5 eggs a week per bird but none at the moment whilst it is winter.

Thank you Joyfull! I am aware that they would stop laying during winter being a pure breed. My Polands gave up 3 weeks ago! Thinking of getting watermael as they are such a lovely perky little bird and hopefully go into breeding them like I do my Polands. Seem to always fall in love with crested type birds!!  :D

have you had a look at the British Belgian Bantam Club?

Also it may be helpful to you to have a chat with Big Jen on here - she breeds and shows Belgians and may be of help to you - she is very knowledgable about them  :)
