With several comments about finding it hard to obtain good quality Brabanters, has anyone purchased from Sandhill? Where have you found good quality stock? If our town changes it's regs, this is...

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.

First, watching a runner duck run is awesome. They can find their own food. They aren't like pekins in water. Mine haven't started laying but I heard their decent.

Its not as fat and slow as a pekin, but its not frail either. I want a mallard but I don't want a flying bird. The rouen is great for that.
-
They are my calmest birds and are easiest to catch. They eat less than Pekins. I heard they also lay well, but mine are younger.

The second chick looks like a silkie to me! The first one I thought Silkied cochin, I have one of those and that is what she looked like when she was little, but then there were the hatchery Silkies i got and the blues looked just like that first chick up until they turned a couple weeks and finally started developing their crest.post #16506 of 351064/13/12 at 5:05am- Location: Grant Park, Atlanta, GA

That is definitely not a sultan. In the US, all sultans are white afaik. For comparison, look at my avatar- the yellow ones are the sultans. And then here's a pic of feet as a day old chick:And then at 2 weeks:

How old are they? Can you get pics of their feet? Do they have vulture hocks? Sultans will have the 5 toes, too...........They sure are all cute, though!
