I have 3 brahmas in my flock, a light brahma, a dark brahma and a light/buff laced cross. When I got chickens 5 years ago, I wanted chickens that would be friendly, easy going, and good layers. I chose brahmas because they were known as the Gentle Giants and light brahmas are known for laying...
As promised, here are some updated pictures of Sandy, my light brahma and buff laced brahma cross. Sandy is now 9 weeks old and is definitely a pullet! :D She stays very close to her hatchmate, E.J. Poofybutt (as my son calls her :) ) who is also a pullet and her adopted mom, Ebony. They both...

Thank you so much for the great information about the feather patterns! :) I have been wondering what she will look like and I really don't know much about genetics. As Sandy gets bigger and more of her feathers come in I will be sure to post pictures here.
By the way I have...
Here are some pictures of the newest members of my flock. I love my brahmas and my Avatar Caroline, my only light brahma is the most dear to my heart. I wanted to hatch a couple more of her eggs and when Ebony, my black Cochin went broody I had the perfect chance to do so. Ebony hatched 3 eggs...
My 6 black sex link chicks are now almost 4 weeks old. They are some of the friendliest little chicks I have had. They love to hop onto my arms and hang out. One of them, Lulu, loves to jump onto my shoulder a lot. The littlest one, Camilla, have more golden reddish color on her chest than the...
Thank you Chick In Delight for the advice. I will have to remember that for next time. Normally I have everything ready when chicks arrive but he surprised me and I was scrambling to get a makeshift brooder for them. The chicks are much happier now in their bigger brooder with shavings and I...
My husband's uncle surprised me today with 6 Australorps chicks! My little boy and me were thrilled but I had to scramble to put together a temporary brooder! What a great May 1st!
I am so sorry to hear about Old King Rocky. He touched many of our hearts and his stories and kingdom will live on forever. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace mighty King.
I have a silkie brahma cross hen named Sophie. Her father was a white silkie and her mother is a light brahma (the one in my avatar). When Sophie hatched a couple of years ago I couldn't wait to see what she would look like when she grew up. She had the dark face, eyes and five toes of her...
I have some exciting news I wanted to share. One of my gold laced Brahmas laid her first egg today! Her name is Abigail and she is 8 months old. I love all my chickens but the Brahmas are my favorite. Here is her first egg next to my light Brahma, Caroline's egg.
I love reading about the wonderful stories of Brahmalot and of the great citizens who live there. I have laughed many times as well as mourned when one of the royal family perishes. Thank you for sharing your awesome flock with us and I look forward to what the new year of 2014 will bring to...
Hi Everyone! I been raising chickens for almost 4 years now and I love it. I have in my current flock 2 Easter eggers, a Cochin, 7 Brahmas, a Mille Fluer D'Uccle, and 6 silkie crosses. They all have names and are very spoiled. All my chickens are friendly and the kids just love feeding them...
