Brabanters and Spitzhaubens--The Differences PIC HEAVY!

Maybe a start from Greenfire Farms would be a good beginning. I sure hope he will import Silver Spitz soon!

Definitely. Nothing worse that when folks run the two colors together.....we never get close to anything resembling a standard.

There's a person on Ebay who runs theirs together, and sells eggs that could be gold, cream or mixed. I wouldn't buy from them.

I'll probably be trying to hatch some Gold Brabanters in the spring, but I don't consider myself a farm. Also, my Brabanters came from Ideal, so it'll take several generations at least to get to a good consistent type and color.

That would be me, but I'm not doing any sales this year as I replenish stock.

I wonder how one would tell the difference. Same shape beak, similar crests, same color legs and earlobes. Tail carriage looks about the same.......
