She is so sweet too! The creams have an amazing personality. She trills when I pet her <3she sure looks cute!
So who is breeding the best brabanters now? I have 2 creams and 2 golds. One of each is decent enough to work with (they came from the feed store so I do not know the breeder but would like to step up the quality right from the start). I'm not set on one color over the other but this is one project I want to work on next year. Which ever color I can get the best stock will determine the direction I go in. I do have guineas from H&H but I don't want to hatch eggs. Eggs that originate from lower altitudes have a poor hatch rate with the low humidity and altitude so I really need day old chicks.
the most important thing is to get the body correct. Color should be the last thing you do.I'm not going to hold one value as a higher importance. To get them to the SOP, every characteristic is important. I would think getting the correct spangling is probably the hardest thing thing to correct so that will have more weight in the beginning. All the pictures of stock online have wildly varied feathering so that tells me they haven't figure it out either. Can anyone shed some light on spangling genetics?
How do I find the Standard of Perfection for brabanters? Is it the U.K.'s version? So far, I'm just going by Dutch sites I found online...I'm not going to hold one value as a higher importance.
