Cream Brabanter Chicks

[Jenikate]

I was on the Northeast Poultry Congress show thread and saw member Marquisell in NY has a beautiful flock of them, and she was bringing eggs to sell at the show. She has some nice marans I was eyeing. PM her but she may not get back to you till she is home from the show. She posted pics of her brabanters on that thread.

I have contacted her in the past about hatching eggs but she prefers to sell live chicks, and would rather not mail hatching eggs...I guess its a double edge sword as I prefer to hatch my own flock.

Also, Her line of Brabanters is new since Dec if I am reading her profile right, so Im not sure she would have too many to sell.
I was supposed to go to the NEPC this weekend and catch up with her for some Marans but Hubby had a last minute business trip and its a very long drive for me with 2 little kiddos...so...my loss I guess.
I have searched all over the place looking for hatching eggs of these! I am trying for a hatch in the next month so they would be laying by summer. Not interested in breeding....just love these little birds..

There is a Brabanter club on Facebook. Please, encourage everyone you know with Brabanters to join. There are so few of us breeding them, it's good for us to have a way to find each other when we need to broaden our gene pools.

They are just growing so fast (they are 3 weeks old), So I just wanted to show them off. I have 7 more eggs in the bator as we speak.








Here is Mom and Dad. Yes he does have a beard and waddles, but still a beautiful Roo.

He's supposed to have a beard. He's not a Spitz.

Quote: She has some up for auction on BYC. At least she did last time I looked.

Thanks hallerlake. I hear so much conflicting arguments about this breed.
He is a very lively bird, hopefully his offspring get his genes.

There isn't a standard for them yet in the USA, but it is being written. Some places in the EU allow wattles, but the American standard is being written to exclude them.

This is a good article on them. http://breedsavers.blogspot.com/2011/04/brabanters-reinventing-history.html
