Three Brabanters....two boys and a girl???

[joyous]

These are five week old golden brabanters...does the hair do tell the sex??

 

[LeBlackbird]

No, it doesn't. These are a bit young, I'm going to say you have a pair

 

[joyous]

Thanks for the quick reply! There are actually two with the black feathered head, and one without...Which one do you think is the female???

 

[LeBlackbird]

The crestless one is female (If you are breeding, I would cull it if I were you

) The crested one is a boy

btw, He has a very nice shape to his crest, and should be a very good bird


My brabanter Roo, started crowing at 6 weeks

Thanks so much for your help, I didn't think the crestless one(female) looked too great! I will keep her for egg laying, but I won't breed her. I am excited that you think the cockerels look nice! I have never had brabanters before, but I heard that the roosters are non aggressive ( I have Grandchildren) What is your experience"

It's pathetic. He also is the Loudest rooster I've ever owned. however, He is very entertaining

lol, Funny roosters they are. He's very flighty, and shy. He doesn't like to be held, and screams bloodly murder...
