Quote: My main rooster has never done anything like that and the two rooster chicks that hatched from that pen I kept until they were crowing well (5 mos) and they also were prefect gentlemen to be around. They free ranged with the main hen flock until I sold them.

It will be a mystery since first hatch was lemon blue Cochin eggs & second hatch was BLRW. I only included the Brabanter eggs because the incubator was running and I was hoping to get some of my own chicks to hatch. I dont own anything that would look like either one of these two chicks. The...

In each incubation go round I gather what I can from my own Brabanters and since they are white eggs its pretty easy to tell what's.. what.. Well I am still scratching my head over these two chicks. They were from the Brabanter eggs... that pen is closed and it's just the cream hens and...

The peeps are doing great, I finally remembered to snap a picture the other morning. I get busy doing my chores before work and forget the fun stuff.

I am thrilled to say that 8 Cream Brabanter chicks arrived from H& H, TX on Thursday. Perfect way to celebrate my birthday , I am sure I heard a drawl in their peeeeep, peeeeep, peeeeep The post office called me at 5:30 in the morning to say my package had arrived. I rushed down there...

Couldn't agree more on the distant cousin aspect. I want to try my hand at shipped eggs as well. I realize they will be related somehow but hopefully enough water has gone under the bridge to dilute it a little

Considering the size of the hen Brabanters are good layers of large eggs. Mine have never gone broody and I just about an egg a day from each of them. I am hoping to get a successful hatch out of my group. I hatched 6 last spring but so far non this year. Setting some more in a few week to...

I managed to collect 8 eggs from my Cream Brabanters when I set up my Brinsea for Cochin eggs. They are currently rocking quietly will see. I hatched 8 last spring and I was happy with them. June hatch Jr. Roo at 7 mos

I sold one June rooster yesterday and have one more to place. I am looking for eggs to hatch hopefully in March/April. I have emailed H&H. I may also be interested in Spitzhauben eggs for hatching if anyone knows someone that offers those. They appear to be as rare as hens teeth

Quote: I am also very happy with the egg production and size of the Brabanter eggs. The hens seem small but lay a nice med to large size egg. With four hens I am getting usually 3 if not 4 eggs a day. Nobody has been broody yet hence hatching them in my incubator. Hatch just completed and...

I'll have to watch for hatching eggs for sale, I would like another set of Brabanters and some Spitzhaubens as well.

So far 5 Cream Brabanter peeps have hatched, there are still 4 eggs to go but two may be duds. I have had great luck with my first hatching. I have 11 eggs total in the incubator but two are brown eggs I added to fill the turner and be my "control" eggs so I would have two different types to...

So far today one Brabanter chick hatched very cute and oh so tiny! The hen is still sitting on 3 other eggs, they are dated 1-28 & 1-31 so I have no idea if this little one is the lone hatch..will give her sometime and check again. As the hen is in the hen house I try to just leave her be in...

With one roo and four hens I usually get 3 or 4 eggs a day of good size. All are very gentle and LOVE to be up high. When I turn them out to free range they have to be in the thick of what I am doing or at the top of the hay and will do a fly by I would like a few more hens but they seem to...

I have a Chochin that is broody big time.. I put the brabanter eggs under her.. if they hatch it should be end of the week.
