These are the only ones I can find at the moment. Apparently breeding of these chickens has died a death and no one here really does it anymore. I will keep looking and as it stands the trip to Belgium will be Monday the 12/4 so if you have any luck let me know. I'm looking daily.

will look a bit more but it doesn't look good

I have Gold Brakel hatching eggs available here in California. They were from a Greenfire Farm import about 2 years ago, subsequently all of GFF were lost after only a few birds were sold.

Could you please post some pictures of them?

Some pictures of the past weeks.
If you have any questions or remarks on the birds,the housing,the way I raise them... etc please post them and I will gladly answer them

SimonV, I love your birds! We are thrilled to be adding a Silver Brakel hen to our program this Fall.

Have five Gold Brakel roosters and not sure how to select the best and cull the rest. They all seem rather uniform with one slightly larger.
Any suggestions?

Post some nice detail pics of each of them
