The Standard lists the Netherlands as the Brabanters Country of origin; however, other literature states that this could be an ancient breed dating back further than these claims suggest. There are paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries that show birds very similar to Brabanters. Around the beginning of the 20th century they were nearly extinct in the Netherlands, but were recreated from different German breeds. This breed is closely related to Owl Beards and has been crossed with them for the breeds survival in the past. While they are Ornamental they are also bred for their production of white eggs, which they lay fairly regularly. There eggs can be white white or slightly tinted.
The American Poultry Association has not yet recognized Cream and Gold Brabanters as a Standard Breed of Fowl.

Cons: Good Brabanters are hard to find
These are not lap chickens, but they are friendly and curious. They have to be in the middle of whatever I am doing.
I take it back. A couple of mine have become lap chickens.

Cons: Can be timid and easily spooked
She never laid for me last year, but started up Jan/12 laying an average of 5-6 a week since! Beautiful white eggs of decent size, should know more as we get into summer. A little skittish, but has survived a coyote attack and 2 hawk attacks (1 cost her a set of tailfeathers and the other dropped her outside of our fence!). Is on the low end of the roost. Very chatty. Smart, comes to door for treats!
Article: Brabanter
Breed Details: I have found Brabanters to be a very friendly breed as well as an excellent egg layer. However, they can be flighty unless handled regularly and are somewhat difficult to really tame. They are active foragers, and are not as vulnerable to predators while ranging as many other crested fowl are. Their crest is tight and points forward, which does not block their vision. Along with their crest they have muffs and a beard. {I would like to thank HandH Poultry for providing info for this page} |
