Well I want to be able to raise them from chickhood, get sexed females, and Im ordering a couple of other breeds from the hatcheries. Im down to either getting buff brahma hens from Ideal or light brahma hens from McMurray, which do you think would fit my needs better (small for brahmas, amd...

Haha! I'd like to but I'm afraid I'd fall in love with too many of them! I can only keep one or two! I'm really pushing my chicken space lately!

Ok, so I would prefer a LF Brahma, because they can be sexed but I'd actually like one that is "too small" for the standard.

Is that the bantam and the LF? They look the same size!

Has anyone on here had both Lf and bantam brahama? I'd like to know how the bantam personality compares to the LF personality. I know it's supposed to be the same, but I have not always found bantams of a LF breed to have the same personality as the LF breed. (E.g. I don't like LF ochins, but I...

I also love my Brahmas, but are they typically aggressive to smaller chickens? We had ours in a large flock, so it was hard to tell, but I need to know, because now we live in the city and can only get a few chickens, and the brahma would be with some banties. I just know the ones we had didn't...
