Cream Brabanters. Just the cutest little things. The Norwegian thing is a jaerhon. It's a funny little grouchy looking reddish brown chick. I believe it will likely be similar to my hamburg in type.

Just looked them up. Seems like a cool chicken!

It was definitely an impulse buy. I do like the look of them, though. I'm a sucker for gamey types.

They definitely are pretty chickens!!

I really like the look the Brabanters too so I may keep them and cancel the bantams so I can put them in with my big chickens haha

I’m afraid to go to the feed store at chick time

They’re amazing!! I think they’re a little scared of me still (all my chicks seem to go through a phase lol) but they let me hold them and snuggle them and they calm right down. Super curious too!!! They come right up to me once they realize it’s me And they seem super smart!!! They figured out right away how to get back into the brooder as soon as they grew wings! They just climbed up my arm to my shoulder and flew back in they fly out too of course. They’re also so brave and bold and it’s hilarious. they crack me up daily!! They’re the best!!

Oh and they also are the only ones so far to try dust bathing (even when they were on shavings in the brooder ) and seem the most interested in foraging and scratching around in their outside pen. So that’s a plus.

They also seem to lead the little bantams around and it’s hilariously adorable

The bantams follow them around as if they’re their mothers
