For anyone that doesn't now, the Cream variety is not yet recognized by the APA, as I think Loren said earlier. But that is my favorite color, so I am sticking with them.

The Brabanter breed itself is not recognized by the APA. They are an import and have to meet certain requirements to even be eligible to apply for the APA. Marans breeders have been trying for years to get their breed accepted by the APA.

In Europe, where the breed is shown, the cream color is not a recognized color. I suspect the US cream is a gold crossed with another breed (Spitz or Polish ??) to get the color.

They are not related to the Spitzhauben, but rather to the Owl Beard. Unfortunately, there are no Owl Breeds in the US...​

I see that this thread hasn't been active in a while. Are there any new breeders of Cream Brabanter out there? I saw that Sand Hill Preservation has gold, but they only allow 5 chicks per order maximum of the breed. I'd like to know if there have been any new developments out there because I'd like to get some hatching eggs in the spring.
