Thank you! I'm going to be patient I think.

That is a very nice beard! You can feather sex Brabanters in the first few days after hatching. Otherwise, I can tell at about 6 weeks. The saddle feathers and any green sheen in the tails give it away. Also the combs.

I usually candle at 10 days but I'm incubating my first batch of SHIPPED Serama eggs and had some detached aircells so I'm anxious. Should I check at 7 days and discard as necessary?? Or should I be patient and wait til 10 days to candle?

That's a shame. This is a part of the reason they have yet to be accepted into the APA. Breeders have not yet perfected the consistency of the breed. I don't have any problems with leg color but I do not get consistent beards. In fact, my hatches so far have been about half and half bearded and...

Cute little gold baby!

Yayyy!!!!!

The newbies activity in the incubator turns the eggs that have yet to hatch. Would I get a better hatch rate if I prevented them from rolling around the eggs that have yet to hatch? I have a Brinsea Octo20 Bator and have hatched 2 batches so far. First batch was a 94% hatch rate and there was...

Thank you! I'll have to check it out.

Thank you for taking the time to give me so much detailed information. I do not plan on breeding him. He is my daughter's favorite and she is planning on using him for show. It's not a serious thing---all in fun. I just didn't want her to find out that her bird was disqualified on the day of...

I'm sorry. I totally should have clarified. I've heard from several people on the American Brabanter's FB page that there are some sellers (one in particular) of BRABANTER eggs that have been 100% infertile. There are only 4 sellers of Brabanter eggs on eBay. They all have pretty good...
