Hi All,
Despite keeping Gold Partridge Brahmas for 14 years, I have never had the opportunity to actually breed from a broody hen as they always go broody about 7 days before we go on holiday. This year our holiday was unfortunately cancelled, and, I let her sit. I only had two brahma eggs and got 4 more eggs from a neighbour. I now have 2 brahma chicks and 3 others. My question is what age can you sex a Brahma? I have homes if they are male and also what age I can introduce them to the rest of the flock? Two other hens and one Cockerel aged 3. They are very free range and kept in an arc. We have 3 acres of woodland which they roam freely in. Photographs are taken when the chicks were about 12 hours old.
