jenn-e , the are gorgeous. Tomorrow I will start to incubate of few of my little girls eggs. I know that they are fertile. I am looking forward to seeing your flock as they have grown. Looks as if you have a good variety of birds.

I feel a need to post more egg pictures !

on the right are mondays eggs. Tuesdays eggs are on the left side. The bigger white egg is from my Brabanter pullet and the tiny white egg from my Showgirl. i think the size of the Brabanter egg is very good compared to the size of the little pullet. So far she is laying every other day ??

I've gone 2 days without a white egg. I'm going to have to check the yard for hiding places.

Here are some pics. They don't really hold still for the camera.

The one with the most "character:

The 2 with crests that are more Polish than Brabanter:

The one that I think looks the best didn't want to cooperate with the photo-shoot

Been wanting some Brabanters myself, is Ideal and Sand Hill the only place to get them from? I've heard Ideals are not very good, and Sand Hill has a limit of 5 on each variety of theirs. Any private breeders of the Brabanter?​

April at H&H Poultry has cream Brabanters.

I may have some gold Brabanter eggs in the Spring.

Did anybody get Sand Hill birds? We're contemplating an order from there, so I need to know what to expect!

It's been around a week since I got a white egg. I'm worried they have a hidden nest somewhere. I looking around the yard this weekend & didn't find anything, but we have an acre with lots of hidey holes. Or maybe they just aren't consistently laying yet, since they just started (I hope)

We have unusually cold weather with snow right now. Only about 1/2 of my chickens came out of the coop today, but all of the Brabanters were among them. One of them flew a good distance across the yard to avoid walking in snow. They really are cute girls!
