Breed Information, Comments, and Experience with breed:

Bought my first trio for $50 in 1978. I was in grade 8 at the time. Our flock grew at it's largest to over 30. Fertility rates were very low, although I tried various techniques like trimming around their vents because of all the fluffy feathering. This is certainly the most docile friendly breed of chicken I have ever known. I could pick up and handle any rooster or hen with relative ease.

What a gorgeaus rooster!! I have an order in for some from our local hatchery. They don't do these often, but am on the list when she gets some. I heard they are great broodies, is this true? I am looking to add a few hens and possibly a roo now that I have seen yours to my small flock.
I have bought 12 Buff Brahmas, I think that your rooster looks very nice. I have 25 on order and they will be here on May 2, 2012. I am just starting my coop and hope that I can get some info from others that have them all ready.
I just love my Brahmas, I am hatching Buff, Buff and Silver Laced Brahmas and hope to get a good hatch for the Mothers Day hatch along. I have 4 Light Brahma hens that I just love, very friendly, calm and sweet. I had a light roo that was no less then 24" tall. He was quiet and nice but with only 4 hens he was really tearing up my girls so he went to a huge farm with 100+ hens to administer to.
