Trying to find good quality Cream Brabanter Chicks

[TCchickies13]

Tim From West Virginia-
Hi, Backyard Chicken folks.
I have been trying to find quality Cream Brabanter chicks everywhere.
Can anyone help me out?
I currently raise SL Wyandottes [16] (My "Super Chickens") and OEG Fowl [12] (I really like the OEG's- fantastic "mommies"!)
I prefer only the most cold hardy breeds because of where I live and my 80 yo Mom wants some white eggs for cooking.
I'd really appreciate some help.
Thanks to all.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! You might try posting on your state thread for a local breeder https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/10761/anyone-in-wv and do a search for the breed threads, ie https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/270338/brabanters-and-spitzhaubens-the-differences-pic-heavy and don't forget the BYC Buy Sell Trade forum. Good luck in your search.

Kelsie has got you covered - so I'll just say

Thank-You, Kelsie. I appreciate the welcome. I must admit I'm new to this whole internet
thing"- service just became available to me a few weeks ago. Does your message mean you have Brabanters?
It's such a terrible morning here (Ice, snow and COLD) that's it's hard to imagine spring is almost here...

 

[TCchickies13]

I guess I should add that this whole "chicken thing" began because my Mom wanted fresh eggs.
I never imagined I would enjoy it so much. Thank-you all for your help.

Good Morning,
Spring is nearly here in the mountains and I'll be ready for some Cream Brabanters around the end of April.
I have some fertile eggs coming in a month from Florida but still need some of a separate blood line.
In your post you implied that "you had me covered". If that is still true, please get a hold of me with any details you can provide me.
I can't believe how many chickens I have now! My OEG hens are busy at work and hatching chicks daily! The OEG's are my tick & bug patrol
and I just love them. My SL Wy's are laying steadily and making everyone happy with beautiful eggs.

Thank-You so very much.

Well "Chicken Folks", I have my first batch Cream Brabanter eggs (8) in the incubator. It's day 9 and all are well and developing beautifully! I also located a gentleman in Florida who is shipping me 12 Bra chicks next month. So, I'm covered on my quest. I'm a bit disappointed that BYC wasn't very helpful as I searched. Thanks, just the same. Time to build another coop...
