Watermaal

 Watermaal are a true bantam breed we started raising after seeing them in another breeders flock. We got chicks from them along with a few adults and have enjoyed them ever since. Watermaal lay a small creme or white egg. 

There are many different colors in the works by some wonderful breeders. Our colors we are currently working on are:  White, Black, Blue, Buff, Mottled and Quail which are all ABA accepted varieties. We have a cuckoo project and a mille fleur/goldenneck project. We also have a silver quail project, and blue quail.( These colors are not currently accepted colors with the ABA/APA, but you can technically show anything under NSV or non standard variety or NRV non recognized variety. In fact many of the Watermaal colors you see on the show floor are not yet accepted colors. I always love seeing something new at a show. ) The Watermaal Club of America is working toward acceptance of varieties and we always welcome people who may want to help with acceptance.

There are plans to get some project colors accepted by 2030. It is easier to get colors accepted thru the ABA and then grandfathered in during APA acceptance. If you would like to help or join in the shaping of this breed, join us at the Watermaal club of America. The club website is: https://watermaal.weebly.com/

There are changes to the watermaal standard being proposed and club members are voting on those changes. We would love as many people to join us and help us shape this beautiful breed.

We are always happy to share our projects with those who would like to take on a project and collaborate. A breed project can jump ahead much faster when more people are working toward a common goal than one single person. More people breeding to standard helps the breed. 

Above are a few pictures from our groups. These poctures change over time as colors develop.
