Wow, this is motivating. I am really interested in getting some spitzhauben hatching eggs. Ewesheep, do you ever sell any of yours? I am on Carla's waiting list, so hopefully I can get some from her this winter.

As for me, no, I will not be selling any yet. I am down to one hen and looking for more.

Carla would be a good choice in getting some Spitzhaubens. Good luck!

Forget the Spitzes, go with the Brabanters! wink

Here's a bunch of pics I've taken of my "keeper" Brabanter pullets. You'll see that they are NOT camera shy --

He is a real beauty!

Oh I forgot, my ignorance, he has a good home to a friend out in the country but he would be available when I need him for my future girls if I have to use him.

Here is the flock I hatched out tone and half years ago from Carla's OK Spitzhaubens:

The rooster WAS goreous but I could not keep him! The pullets with slicked back polish crests were all sold as pets.
