Brabanter Chicken: An Old Breed from Netherlands

Brabanters are a very old Dutch breed that lay a large white egg. Paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries show chickens that resemble the Brabanter. They went extinct in the 1900s but were recreated in 1920. Cocks weigh 7 pounds and hens weigh 5 1/2 pounds. Brabanters have a V-shaped comb with 2 small rounded spikes. The crest points forward like women used to wear in the Appenzellerland of the Netherlands. Thus sometimes Brabanters are called Appenzellers. The wattles are fine and long. The ear lobes are white and oval shaped. Their beak is large with deep nostrils and a fleshy knob at the front of the beak. Their eyes are brown. They do not have feathers on their legs.

Intelligent Foragers

 

Brabanter chickens are more intelligent than many chickens. They are good foragers. They are good at flying and climbing. Since they have small wattles and combs, they are not prone to frostbite. Brabanters do all right in confinement and are fairly docile except for roosters who are sometimes aggressive.


Good for Eggs and Meat

 

White Eggs Hens lay 150 large eggs a year. They lay more eggs in the winter than most chickens. They can sometimes be broody. They are a good dual purpose breed for meat and eggs. Branbanter chickens are extremely rare and critically endangered. We have both Gold and Cream Brabanters for sale.
