The Everberg beard cricket is a chicken breed. It is the spinal tail variant of the Ukkelse baardkriel. The genetic factor for the spinal cord (not present in the last tail vertebra) is a dominant hereditary property. In addition to taillessness, there is no difference with the Ukkelse Baardkriel. Nevertheless, the Everberg beard bugs often appear shorter and more compact than the Ukkelse beard crickets. Researchers have found that tailless chickens miss a number of back vertebrae and that there are a number of muscles missing or given a different position.
The Everberg beardkrieel thanks its name to the place where this variant originated for the first time, the first copy was born in 1906 in Everberg, a small town east of Brussels. This breed was created by the rich industrial Pauwels. In the 1940s Georges Lamarche created this breed again, but after a few years it disappeared. In the sixties there were creative attempts, some even successful. But the great interest remained. In the early nineties, Jaak Bolle wanted to start from Koekelare with Everberg beards. Since there were almost no Everberg beards available, Jean Pierre Muys made a lot of effort to get two copies, one for Jaak and one for Jean Pierre. This was the new start to propagating and maintaining this rare breed. Color layers
In the early 1990s, only porcelain and ice-porcelain-colored animals, as a result of breeders Jaak Bolle and Jean Pierre Muys's efforts, a number of color layers were back, such as black, white, blue, black and white, blue white peeled quail, blue quartz and buff columbia or created some new colors such as white quartz, oak white porcelain and isabel pearl gray columbia. About the same period, Mrs. Dhr. Mollinger in Delft is seriously busy with the Ukkelse and Everberg beard cricket, this in the colorings porcelain and ice-cream porcelain.
After there were more color layers and animals appeared on the exhibits, interest in the breed grew. There were more breeders and the number of animals on the shows rose steadily. The popularity is falling again in 2005. Characteristics
The Everberg beard cricket is a very domestic, sweet and affectionate breed.
In a spacious cage, cats can sometimes live together without problems. The animals like to sit on a stick or tree, and prefer to sleep above the ground or on a high stick. Some strains of beardbones are very sensitive to Marek's disease and must be vaccinated on the first day.
