My two new brahma chicks. These two are my first chickens.
Any tips for a newbie?
I think she is lovely as well. Looks like some kind of incomplete lacing to me, I'm not much of a Columbian pattern expert (not that much of an expert at all, really) so I'm not much help I'm afraid. If big medicine gets on he can probably tell you where her pattern might have come from. As far as the "cochin cushion" goes, it is pretty common in brahmas. I'm sure it originates from the cochin in their backgrounds. I think it shows up more when the backs aren't quite as long and wide as they should be, so if you are going to try to get rid of it in future generations you would want to breed her to males with longer and wider backs.What is going on with my buff Brahma pullet? I don't plan on showing her or selling any off her offspring as I have a mixed flock and I know my chickens aren't anywhere near perfect. But I'm still curious about her patterning. She just started laying and I've never seen her go through a molt. I got my Brahmas when they were 3 months old and they are about 7-8 months old now. When she was younger I kept expecting her to molt and lose this pattern but she still has it. Is it some sort of incomplete lacing as the result of perhaps bad hatchery breeding? She also has the fluffy bump on her back that I read on this forum was the result of Cochins being used in their breeding. I think she is absolutely lovely but I'm really curious at to whats going on with her pattern.
