Flock of Cream Brabanters *SOLD - PPU *
Sadly selling my entire flock of Cream Brabanters . Flock consists of 10 hens ranging in age from 5 months to 2 years and 1 rooster. This is being sold as a group, I will not split them up. Asking $200.00, price is not negotiable. Serious enquirers only, thank you! Location: South of Cambridge
History:
The Brabanter has been bred in the Netherlands, and particularly in Brabant, for a long time.
The Brabanter is among the lightest of chicken breeds; cocks weigh 1.9–2.5 kg and hens 1.6–2.0 kg. It has a narrow crest and a three-part beard. The crest is unlike that of most other crested breeds such as the Polish: it projects upwards and slightly forwards. The Brabanter has a V-shaped comb. The earlobes are small and white, and the wattles are often absent both earlobes and wattles are hidden by the beard.
Hens lay a moderate number of white eggs, do not frequently go broody, and are fairly good winter layers. The breed has a fair build, and thus is a decent table-bird. The Brabanter is a calm breed that is intelligent. It can stand confinement. The Brabanter is suitable for cold areas because its smaller comb and wattles are less susceptible to frostbite.

Re: Flock of Cream Brabanters *SOLD - PPU *
Oh, FRF, I am so sorry to hear this. I know you really loved the breed.
As you may know, I have always really wanted to have some Brabanters in my tiny little flock, but it seems like it just wasn't meant to be.
You have no idea how much I wish I could have bought your flock of Brabanters, but I just don't have the right setup for a larger flock; I am at my limit here, space-wise. :-( :-(
Are your hen's eggs still fertile? And would you still be interested in selling some before the flock goes to its new home? If so ...hey, @windwalkingwolf or @TomK , any chance you'd be interested in an incubation collaboration of some sort?

Re: Flock of Cream Brabanters *SOLD - PPU *
Yes! If there's any way to get some eggs, I can hatch them. Thanks to @Killerbunny and her amazing forced air incubator, I'm getting hardly any wet hatches this year. Hatchability has been stupid good. I can hatch eggs, you guys can share all the pullets and I will keep any extra cockerels.

Thanks Jaye, it was an extremely hard decision to sell . The hens are so sweet and alert and have never had a nasty rooster.

Am on the fence about selling my Barthudhner's as well but am not parting with my EO's just yet.
WWW if you want the contact's send me a PM

@windwalkingwolf , if you are still interested in incubating some eggs from Flat Rock Farm's line, I'll PM you later today to work out some particulars.
@Flat Rock Farm , if we can work something out, would you be willing to ship eggs?
