Brabanter/Faverolle

[babyrnlc]

What do you think a Brabanter and a faverolle cross would look like. Anyone done that. I am not thinking of doing that (not gonna have a rooster), but I was think how sweet my Brabanters are and how cool they look, but a little on the thin/gamey side for my taste. Then I thought how cool to get the weight of a SF and maybe the fluffy legs. And they are sweet too. Though, not sure I would want to cover those cool blue legs.

I don't mean to offend but that Faverolle girl shown there looks no meatier than the Brabanter

She's just fluffier.


The birds will look a little like this though -

But with little to absolutely no crest, and of course feathered legs.

Also depending on who's mom who's dad, they might be silver too, but the non-silvers will have a lighter gold coloration, influence of the cream gene from the Brabanter. They won't have blue legs though, as the white legs of Faverolles are dominant.

Cool thanks. I was just having a curious moment. I didn't really mean meatier. I meant fluff. I like the fluffiness. Like the Bo.

I think my brabanters and my Ancona are cool looking but I prefer "fatter" aka fluffier ones lol.

I love my Brabanters, but I was looking at them the other day and thinking to myself that if I ever needed to eat any of them, it'd take 2 to make a meal. They are very leggy, skinny chickens. I really like that look, but it's definitely not meaty. I've got some LF Cochins that are 8 weeks old, and they're already more than half the size of my 18 week old Brabanters. Of course, a lot of that is fluff, but I imagine they'll still be huge by comparison when they're grown. lol!
