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
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.
Eggs for Sale: Eating and Hatching
We sell eggs for eating and hatching.
We do not ship. You have to pick

hens lay large white eggs. We
feed our chickens organic feed
including flax to increase the
omega-3. They have access to pasture
during the day. At night we close
them in the coop for safety.
