They are extremely RARE! I got my start of them from Ideal Hatchery. They are NPIP eggs and are sent with shipping papers.
These chickens are pretty docile. They don't peck as bad as some do, probably because they are dark colored and have hidden wattles and combs for the most part.
They are about the size of a Leghorn.
They lay nice sized white eggs and are easy keepers.
Please allow 0 to 2 weeks to ship.

Cream Brabanters
Cream Brabanters as well and Gold Brabanters are extremely rare in the United States; very few breeders attempt to breed Brabanters, which are not readily available.
History
The Netherlands Standard lists the Netherlands as the origin of Brabanters while other literature indicates that this is a very ancient breed. Paintings from the 16th and 17th Centuries show fowl that look like this breed. As of January 2006, the American Poultry Association has not accepted Gold or Cream Brabanters as a Standard Variety. Brabanters, which are hardy and lay at an early age, are good layers of large white-shelled eggs and are known as excellent winter egg producers.
Adult Description
The most recognizable characteristics of Brabanters are the flat-sided upright crest with front feathers that are bent a little forward and their well developed muffs and beard, which form three lobes that cover the cheek and chin. The crest should not be as large of globular as the Polish varieties. The plumage is fairly hard and right, similar to Polish varieties. They have very large bodies: although, they are not heavy in bone. They have the appearance of strong, hardy birds. The shape of the body, which thickens considerably from the breast to stern, helps to determine that it is evidently a good layer since there is ample space in the region of the egg organs. The posterior part of the body is carried low, without the legs being short, and in the case of the hens, it almost touches the ground. The males have a moderately upright carriage of their body which is moderately narrower at the tail. The head is medium sized, rather broad between the eyes without a protuberance. They have a V-shaped comb consisting of two small, separated, rounded spikes placed in front of the crest. They have beaks that are medium in size, powerful and slightly curved. If wattles are present, they are very small and covered by the beard. The white ear lobes are small and concealed by the muffs. They eyes, which are prominent and alert, Are orange to red brown. The neck, which is fairly long, slightly curved and carried erect, has an abundance of hackle plumage. The back, which slopes downward, is fairly long. The breast that is carried a little forward is broad, full and rounded. The tail, which is carried at a 60-degree to 70-degree angle above horizontal, is large and well spread. The well-developed thighs are of medium length and set well apart. They have four toes on each foot that are well spread. The general characteristics of the female are similar to those of the mail, allowing for the natural sexual differences. All of the fairly tight, hard plumage of the Cream Brabanter is cream with each feather ending with a half-moon black spangle; however, the color of the tail may be entirely black. They have a horn beak and lead blue legs and feet.
Chick Description
Chicks are light brown to dark brown with crest, muffs and beard. The clean legs are gray. If there is a comb, it will be V-shaped.
