No, it's a purebred Brabanter, but with a creamy yellow color. It's a unique gene that creates the color, only availabe to this breed in LF.

I myself would love to get my hands on some good cream Brabanters.

Robin,
I cannot ship chicks.

Hallerlake,
No idea where the cream Brabanter originated. Not sure if it was crossed with a silver Spitzhauben or not. The creams have a lot more lacing than the golds, something that makes me think there was a Polish in there somewhere.

There is no cream color in the European standard for Brabanters. It appears to be an American breed. Lovely, none the less.

OK then I have to settle for hatching eggs!

My Cream Brabanter eggs went into the incubators this morning. Some are in my mini (my first hatch), and some a more experienced friend is hatching for me. It's going to be a long three weeks.

I managed to collect 8 eggs from my Cream Brabanters when I set up my Brinsea for Cochin eggs. They are currently rocking quietly

will see. I hatched 8 last spring and I was happy with them.

June hatch Jr. Roo at 7 mos

In a moment of insanity, I bid on some Appenzeller spitzhauben eggs. They're coming next week. Don't tell Mr. Hallerlake.
