I love, love love brahmas!! I had 6 dark, 5 got eaten by a fox, one hen remaining. The rooster I had was HUGE! But he was super sweet and never beat up anyone, didn't crow until he was 6 months. Definitely gentle giants. I had one hen who would follow me around like a dog and loved to be held. Sadly she was one of the ones eaten by the fox. But, getting 5 more darks in March!! SO excited!!
