Sorry for you on that, but on the bright side of it you got some brahmas. And hopefully enjoyed your meeting with Wil. Once again I only got to say a quick hi to him, as he seems to always be helping someone out at the shows and can be hard to pen down.
My kids decided to do this with some hen raised silkies that were probably around 7 months old. Now they can do whatever they want with them. My youngest DD swings with hers, pulls her in a wagon and even pushes her in a stroller.
