REINTRODUCED 2023:
With a flamboyant crest, three lobed beard, spangled feathering, and V-shaped horn comb, the Brabanter is the most striking chicken that I’ve seen. The Brabanter originates in the region of Brabant a region that straddles Belgium and the Netherlands. The breed became extinct in the early 20th Century but were recreated by Dutch poultrymen in the 1920’s. The Brabanter can be an extremely docile and friendly bird if raised by hand but has a tendency to become flighty if left to their own devices. They are non-sitters and are good layers of medium-large, white eggs.
We obtained our original stock in 2017 hatching eggs on the halves for a local poultry enthusiast. The breed is extremely rare, can vary by individual breeder, and is not currently recognized by American Poultry Association.
NOTATION: I breed Cream Brabanters according to my personal standards preferring a wider and more colorful crest than is commonly seen in other flocks.
