They both look like Roos to me: the bottom is deffinantly a roo. That too fellow though is not a brahma, the comb is all wrong. Likely Cochin if it has feathered feet.

Brahmas are great broody mommas. They'll set on there own if you let them. Good luck!

Bahamas grow slow, so your first year is all about building a frame; good bones and strong tendons, your second year is all about MASS. They fill out during the second year.

Your birds are lovely! Just gorgeous!!!

I know my hatchery lights are nothing special but I love them all the same! I am very interested in show quality birds though, so if your in the greater Great Lakes region and have chicks, let me know! I'll travel and pay for good stock! The pen they are in is just a place holder until their...

Been slowly getting my flock of lights used to being outside. I know it's cold but we live in harsh country so they've gotta be tough. A little over 8 weeks. They seem to be enjoying the temporary pen....cannot wait for the chicken "Mansion" to arrive!

Solid idea!!!! Thank you, bunsnpupsnchick!

A large majority of our chicken breeds take origin from Asian countries...including China, so I don't see any reason to ignore the study.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4157856/#!po=75.0000 I've found that this article is substantive. What is indicated in the article is that cross beak may be recessive. Again, I'm not a diffinitive fountainhead of information on this topic and would prefer not to argue it on this...

The brooder I built and provided my chicks was tested for appropriate temperature and drafts and I know that was not the issue. The chicks have been in a 75degree room with a starting temp of 95 degrees warm hot spot temp. Chicks have been on electrolytes and vitamins from the day I received...

All sound like viable options. I just have to figure out how I'm going to separate my breeding flock from the non-breeding flock come next year. My coop was designed for one large single flock for ease of care and egg flow. Sort of feel I have a responsibility to not accidentally produce chicks...

I'm just thankful I was able to order more chicks from a local breeder. Hatch days were only a few days apart! So I lucked out there. I'm just not sure how to handle the rest of the birds from the previous order. They're doing well, well feathered and very boisterous, but the genetics behind...

Have to give some sad news: my chicks began to die within the last few weeks. Several were very week from the onset and inevitably perished while others began to develope severe scissor beak. Out of an order of 33, 10 died within the first 10 days and within three weeks 6 developed scissor beak...

The chicks are approaching 1 week and they're doing so well! The one standing up in the second pic is my fave! I love them all though!

Just received my little bundles of fluff from McMurray today! All 37 arrived happy, healthy, and SUPER hungry! The brooder is 2'x8' with two 4' divided sections that can be opened to make a full 8' run. Built it myself. Just to note, if you ever order from McMurray I would suggest either making...

I'm so excited!!! Ordered my first flock of Light Brahmas! I had one Roo, Samson that I got in a mix bunch from McMurray and he was a stunner...so 4 years later I'm going knee deep! Cannot wait to receive my little ones! Also, if you guys ever order from McMurray, do it over the phone, they...
