The "Kempische Brakel" does not exist anymore and is absorbed into the Brakel,but some lines still look very much like them.
The Campine they imported again is not a Kempische Brakel but an English breed wich whas developed from Kempische Brakels and Hamburgs :)
The hens are calmer than Campine hens,they are very friendly and like to run in your way when you are in their pen.
They get very tame when you use treats an if you are calm around them.
I now have 4 roosters of this breed, but still have my original one to.
Some pictures of the past weeks.
If you have any questions or remarks on the birds,the housing,the way I raise them... etc please post them and I will gladly answer them
I would lik eto send you some,but the sending itself will already cost €90.
+I've heard you can't send eggs in that easily to the UK,because of quarantine.
If you want very good quality eggs I can send you some,from next year on I will also have Zottegems fowl, I've gotten some eggs from them.
Some new pictures of my birds:
Any questions will be answered in an much detail as possible...
Yeah,this hen is the European champion Silver hen.
At the Europashow she had 97 points ,but i really think that is to much,her tail is way to high .
And I find her to white,but that is personal.
That is the thing you have to have with Brakels,patience ,and lots of it
You will have some work to do on the wings on both sexes,the combs on the hens and the saddles on the roosters.
(As far as I can see,at least)
What is the weight of the birds?The hens seem a little skinny.
Yeah,hopefully for you its just an odd one out.
I hope for you that that other chick is a male.
O and btw
I'm keep'n eggs for the next round of Brakels
