    hi becky & simon, great I can tag along ;) thanks becky, can you post the link of those campine eggs? i'd need a very good line as it is easier to start out right than try to set things straight for years to come

    that would be very nice, but if it is too hard to find any, no problem, I can be patient. the Campines haven't been around in Belgium in 7 or so decades. A few weeks more won't hurt.

    BeckyD21, you can also go for Campines. They're very closely related and you will find them in the UK.

    2 full grown Campine chickens from 2013 and 2 chicks from last week. One chick is however very white, even for a Campine. I'm afraid it got some Groninger Meeuw mixed into it. What do you think?

    they look really nice, exactly like i remember them from years ago below 2 pics of my campine chick 1 day and 8 days old as i mentioned before they differ somewhat from brakelchicks, more white in the body and less brown on the head

    Aha, me too. Silly to be writing in English, but I guess we have to keep our American and other friends informed just as much I made following site about the Campines, http://silvercampines.tumblr.com/ (Dutch) or http://campines.tumblr.com/ (English) Please let me know what you think about it.

    Brakel (and related breeds) Thread

    you're absolutely right, I just couldn't find better pictures. what I wanted to point out is that Brakel chicks have more full brown heads and that Campine chicks are more marked all over. Adult chickens of both breeds however are almost identical. So does the difference in chicks come from...

    Some orange eyes do occur, position of the tail often isn't good either namely above 45°. The barring has been better in decades past I think. The lighter weight isn't an issue, they're supposed to be somewhere in between the old style Belgian Campine and the Brakel. Although these days they...

    they look very very nice have you heard of the Campine thread? https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/306058/campine-chicken-thread What do you think apart from henfeathering are still differences between campine and brakels?
