The H & H 's Brabanter roo in the picture is what I had in mind with the UK standards. THAT is what a Brabanter SHOULD look like, not those huge wattles!

Since everthing is pointed in having beards, then we got some work to do!

So it is either Ideal Hatchery or if H & H's are selling chicks or eggs, then by all means, go for it!

But the crests in her pic are going the wrong direction...

Hmmmmmm! It may be the case....wouldn't you think a door behind the photographer the wind has blown in at the time the pic was taken? I'm comparing wattles, my dear LOL! However the crests, like you said........................

We need better pics!

Not sure if H & H's was in here before but I was pretty sure I've seen those photos before besides on Ebay.

If it ever stops raining I will post some additional pics of my golds. Looking closely, my male does have some small wattles.

There's a really nice pic of a white brabanter roo's head, here:

Go to "brabanters", then click on "wit" (white). It's all in Dutch, but there's several nice pics of the different color varieties.

ETA: there's another good pic of a brabanter roo face here:

I think this page is where I translated the German standard from...

Oh my! Look at those beards LOL! It is Mr Lincoln!

They are beautiful and the first link has been submitted on the second page if I remember correctly. I can not read foreign language but got someone who is in our Welsummer Club that is fluent in German, French and Dutch. I have to forward it to him and see what he has to say.

Just awesome!
