I thought some of you who are developing different colored birds might want to check out these chickens.  They have a muff and a beard and slate legs.  They lay a white egg and have a weird tuft on their head and a \"v\" shaped comb.

They are called Brabanters or Branbanters, they are Dutch.

I asked the lady to send me a close up of the head.

They look like very poor silver and gold laced polish or a silver or gold laced polish crossed with a silver spangled hamburg. Not attractive. A crevacour is a solid black bird has a crest, muffs, slate legs and if I remember correctly has an extra toe, similar in size and shape as the mottled houdans.

I have cream brabanters. I think the females are a good looking bird. I also have gold brabanters. They are spangled, have a small crest and a duplex comb.
