Here, I don't have these. WARNING to most, this is a really hard one...
.... They come from Poland
.... They are Bantam
.... There is no attempt to breed for a ny particular color
.... They have single combs, sometimes with crests, and are often mottled
.... They are a landrace
.... They are on feathersite....
.... There Name ends with Y, and has two L's in it....


This might be the hardest one yet...

Your turn

Thanks.

I like the idea you started, of giving info but no picture. I'm going to continue that....

>This breed is an old Belian breed, developed around 1850.
>They have a crest, the crest is very small in the males, only some spiky feathers behind the single comb. The crest of the hen is larger.
>The comb of the hen is twice folded (different from the Leghorn, which is just hanging over to one side!).
>They are found in Black, White, Blue and in Quail varieties.
>These fowl are sometimes good sitters and lay a good-sized (60 to 70gr) white egg.
>This breed is often confused with the Brabanter.
>They are on FeatherSite.

Brabançonne. I've always loved those guys; they deserve more popularity!

Yes!

I'd never heard of them before finding them on FeatherSite, but they look and sound really cool!
