Brakel (and related breeds) Thread

[Bluefield]

I have five roosters to pick from to breed my three remaining hens.
What are the most important qualities I should look for?
One has a very gold hackle compared to the rest but his barring isnt as strong in his tail and wing feathers.
Another has better barring but a slight space in his comb and darker hackles.
We've already ruled out the rooster with the faint white tip on his tail feather.

Beautiful birds.
Anybody got any hatching eggs for sale? I'm interested. Please PM if you've got some. I'm in the US, zip code 74501.

Thank you much.

Here are a few pics of one of our Silver split roos and our all Silver hen. We are really excited about these guys this season!

Yes, I thought it was very interesting! I wonder how you could improve on the laying ability of the Brakel though?? They already lay an egg a day?! lol
