That's a remarkable plumage pattern. Many years ago I was interested in Brabanters which is the reason I subscribed to this thread. Then I just couldn't think of hens with Abe Lincoln beards and switched my admiration to Alpenzeller Sptizhabens..(spelling?) -- that chamois could be a game...

awwwwww!!

:love Oh how I love your dog! Reminds me of mine. ;) During this isolation period I read something somewhere that a person wrote---> "If you have a blue Heeler (ACD) you're never alone". Ain't that the truth? Good luck with your search.

good luck with your search.

that's a pretty amazing story. congrats on getting the birds.Your teacher's husband saved their lives -- and now they will have good homes. It would be interesting to know the 'back story' of how they got there in the first place.

Gosh he's pretty... I didn't realize that they got that big until I see the picture of him next to the Cream Legbar. Seems like someone here was just looking for good stock. Hope that someone will give him a wonderful home! ETA -- oh - I see now -- he is closer to the camera -- so he's...

Good luck with your chicks. I hope that they will thrive. I think that they do react to the good care -- to make up for trauma of shipping .

With these very rare and endangered breeds, it is fantastic that people are working to broaden the genepool of their own flocks. This is something Isbar people are doing as well, and I think that we are already seeing improvements in health and hatchability --

Just adorable!

Love how 'slate'-blue the legs look in the second photo--- is your Brabanter considered a cream one?

You may want to PM Henk69 - He lives in the netherlands, is a chicken expert and has been very kind and generous with his knowledge whenever I have contacted him. Good luck.

I agree that it may seem that way -- but the real danger to the eggs probably happens in the automatic sorting facilities. There are up to 4-foot conveyor belt drops that the package endures. (I wonder if it could be multiple times too depending on the sorting facility and the destination) So -...

X2 I'll be interested in the answer as well.

Hi Percheron chick, May I borrow the observations that you made about how important a standard is for a developing breed? You made some excellent points as Walt has noted. This approach needs a wider audience. ;O)

I think your genetics statement about gold silver is correct. ;O) You will get gold females and silver males (split for gold and silver is dominant.) :O)

X2 - they are beautiful. The photo of the pullet with the red face..the wind is blowing her crest in a way that looks like two horns. Each time I see your picts, I decide I need to get some of these.

Love 'em..... Dang! Now I may just have to get another breed to add to my collection - they are beautiful~
