Hi All!
We have Gold Brakels here in the U.S. We got ours from Greenfire Farms before they lost their flock to a bobcat. As far as I know, only us and one other breeder in Southern California have any of the remaining stock from Greenfire. We have been working together for 2 years and have not intermingled any of the stock in order to try and keep some genetic diversity for folks interested in the breed's conservation. They are lovely birds, very sweet. Mine are a bit flighty only when I move quickly, but equally as fast at moving right back to my feet. They are excellent foragers and well suited to life here on our farm. They are exceptional layers and darn near every egg we incubate just pops right out of the egg. They are definitely a strong breed! Here are some pics of our birds! We are getting ready to release some on Rarebreedauctions.com in a few weeks. I'd love to see more folks get a hold of these amazing beauties!

I have been hatching these eggs for years and the eggs are very easy to hatch with no special requirements. If you have problems or the eggs turn out bad I have juveniles available.
