Looks like they are sportin' bad Mohawks and scruffy beards, lol. I need to look this breed up, see what the adults look like.

They're unique. Their defining characteristics are their beards and their "mohawks" along with spangled feathers. I think they're beautiful. These are Cream Brabanters, by the way - for when you look them up.

look kinda neat....I'll look them up too...
I have Cochins, Sultans, Brahmas,Wyandottes and Polish Chickens among others
I like different!

 

[JLeigh]

Me too, critters. These are rare chickens, so far, but getting more notice. I think people either think they're beautiful or ugly

I think they are beautiful, even with the silly hair-doo and scruffy beard, lol. Love the spangles feathers. I like birds that are different and stand out. Glad you chose to work with a rare breed, that in itself is just awesome

Thanks, Peeps. I'm going to hatch some, but I'm not going to set myself up as a seller. I'll keep a small flock of them and work toward breeding them up to standard, which is becoming more clear in the U.S. It will be an interesting project/hobby - long term of course. I'll keep the ones who get closer to standard, and find happy homes for the rest.. shouldn't be hard. (Famous last words !)..and probably sell eggs from the "keepers". I'm stoked.
