yes they are stunning, gotta run do chores, chat you again soon.

So glad that you are enjoying them, hope to get more of them out there, APA will not recognize a color pattern until many breeders have experience with them.

I have not been in good health, i am struggling to keep everyone warm and happy, so far so good, i think i have a nice group of girls to breed with this year.

only one or two do go broody in any given year

as a rule my Brahmas sometimes do go broody but usually not at this time of year in my climate.

The birds look great, I have been checking in and enjoying seeing them all... My luck and my health have not been good, i am hoping for better luck and health in the new year. Best of luck to you . happy holidays.

Hi Cynthia, sorry that I haven't been able to take the time to have a real dialog, but things are rough for me rt. now...I am very glad that there are no vulture hocks. I cull those birds the min I see one, fortunately I have not had any at all in several generations. The birds are looking...

re USPS employees, i agree that you can get diffrent answers from diffrent employees. I believe i had looked this very issue up in postal regs, and i think that I read that shipped eggs are not covered by insurance even if you manage to get a postal agent to sell you the insurance. T.

Hello, I am glad that the thread that I created has helped so many people, i saw a need and i filled that need with the thread.

I haven't seen such a pattern pictured but someone out there may be working on it.

i totally agree with Big Medecine's recommendation to not use brahmas as broodies, for all the reasons he mentioned and more. your fear of stinking eggs is without foundation. Except for a bad egg which in hatching thousands of eggs i have never had, you have very little chance of anything going...

see the feathers extending rearward at the elbow of the leg, those are vulture hocks. i hope this is a help, and i hope that your birds do not have them. the standards in europe allows for vulture hocks. often when advertising chicks or hatching eggs the seller will identify as being european...
