Brabanters and Spitzhaubens--The Differences PIC HEAVY!

You certainly don't want to "outcross" the lines but keep it close like third generation sharing the same grandparents or from same breeder's stock.

My Brabanter chicks from HandH poultry in Texas. The big one is about a month old. The others much younger.

Cute babies !
April of H and H Poultry had a booth next to me at the Austin Funky Chicken Coop Tour. I also know her from the Austin Backyard Poultry Meetup group. She is a very nice woman and has excellent birds. She had some eggs from her dark egg layers at the tour and they were a beautiful dark brown.

April also has an organic feed line.

And soft. They seem less skittish than the Brabanter chicks shipped from Texas, but I guess being tossed around in a box for a couple of days would do that to one.
