What breed is this ?

[HiEverybirdy]

So cute. Where did you get it?

• Ideal Poultry has Brabanters, and you might run into their birds at a feed store or TSC - https://www.idealpoultry.com/product/1599/44#
• A number of hatcheries carry a Golden Spangled Appenzeller Spitzhauben - https://www.cacklehatchery.com/product/golden-spangled-appenzeller-spitzhauben/

I only have experience shopping these breeds – haven't owned them yet, so no personal opinion to offer – but it does look like one of these. To complicate things, sometimes different breed genetics are mixed to help cultivate certain traits. Not sure if they'd mix these 2 breeds, but if so, it would be possible to get a Spitzhauben-ish Brabanter or Brabanter-ish Spitzhauben...

There's a thread about this if you wanna go deep: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...pitzhaubens-the-differences-pic-heavy.270338/

Or you could just call this kleine flooflein a Brabanzauben or a Spitzhaubanter and call it a day, ha!

Does it have a beard, OP? Hard to tell from that pic.

Not the best photo, but here are two young Spitz pullets. They have dark heads until they mature. I’m still thinking Spitz unless there’s a beard.
