Backyard Brahmas!!

[SD Bird Lady]

I know there are multiple Brahma threads out there but I want to start this one to help those who may sometimes feel threatened by the feedback they hear from those who know "poultry perfection"


BACKYARD BRAHMAS!!
This thread is for people who have Brahmas that are nothing special but are close to their hearts.
If you have no idea or don't care about tail angle, vulture hocks or broad heads.....then this is the place for you!

I would like to say that I have no problem with those who are very interested in the world of poultry shows or that enjoy further developing a breed. However, when two groups that have such different goals meet it tends to lend it self to hard feelings and heated discussions.

SO.....Post pics of your gentle giants hatchery or not, ask questions, and enjoy being the owner of backyard Brahmas!


I hope this catches on

Here's another pic. My first Brahma, Rocky. I posted him on the Brahma thread a few years ago and was horrified at all the faults that were pointed out on him. I think he's beautiful, anyway! Now, he's an old man, crippled with arthritis, and is living out the rest of his life in his own private coop and run.

My two new brahma chicks. These two are my first chickens.

Hello. Moving here from the Brahma thread after I learned that my birds did not qualify as brahmas because their legs are the wrong color and a couple have straighter combs than is "necessary". I feel like I'm in limbo because they say they aren't brahmas and the breeder says they're crazy.

I don't care, they're beautiful birds and that's all that matters to me.

Are Banty Brahma owners welcome? I have one beautiful little buff gal who I consider one of my two prettiest birds. I love her, bought her from a show a year ago. She is so mellow and sweet natured! She shares her coop with a banty Cochin (prettiest girl #2) and a Silkie cockerel. I am thinking of having a straight up 'yard candy' flock someday. Just pretty bantams loose on the front lawn... *daydreamy smile*

I just wanted to bring this page back up and see if anyone was still interested in it.

Took our little 16 day old brahma babies out for a bit of fun in the sun today.

First sand bath!!

On a side note @aarkle by 4-5 weeks they usually dont need a heat lamp. They will feather out much faster without the supplemental heating. And its less for you to worry about
