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.

I have five of these chicks (actually there may be 6) that are about 6 weeks old. I am pretty sure that 1, 2, and 3 are pullets and 4 and 5 are roos. They might be OEG and they are bantams. Anyone know what kind and what color they might be?

Thanks and I only have 1 more post that I need to do left for now so sorry for taking up so much space and asking so many questions today.

These look more like the rose comb type. If OEG have single combs, I don't think that they can be OEG. Their combs look more like my Sebrights when they were younger. Am I seeing things???

Where did you get them from? If they are hatchery stock we could narrow down the choices by what they sell. ALso baby pictures (vs these tweenager pictures) would be great.

The comb is not a single comb so it rules out OEGB.

They look like they were chipmunk colored when young--with the darker v on top of the head of some of them. Is that correct? If so then I am going to take a wild guess and say BBR Cubalaya. I know its out of the box, but I really can't think of any bantums that have a pea comb with that coloration. I think Cackle sells them so they are out there.

I highly doubt it, none have beards and they have white legs. They are all also uniformly colored, i think they are BBRed.

Younger photos. They aren't EE's. I know what they look like and have them. I did indeed get these in a mistaken order...on their part...from cackle Hatchery.
