Backyard Brahmas!!

My brahma pullets are two of the sweetest out of all my breeds! They are very special and I can't even take a picture without one of them photo bombing it lol.

I'll have to post a pic when I have my latop.

They are so sweet and one of the handful I can touch, pet and pick up without loud complaints.

Oh that is great to know! So far all the chicks I have are gentle and friendly, but our LB is just the most friendly!

My light brahma is my favorite chick to date. She is so sweet!
 
Let's see the hatchery chicks all grown up! Anyone have pics of mature hatchery Brahmas? I would love to see them! How are their temperaments? I get my light brahma chicks in July from MMc. And please, no one needs the negative feedback on where or how birds in the pics don't meet the standard.
 
My last Brahma, my Buff, Caroline, is still with me at 9 yrs 5 mos old. And oddly enough, though I lost so many hatchery birds to internal laying/egg yolk peritonitis, she is my only hatchery hen as well.

I just put 21 Brahma eggs in the incubator from Tom (brahmapapa) in NY, 11 Darks and 10 Blue Partridge x Partridge. I've wanted more Brahmas for a few years now, ever since my Lt. Brahma died at 5 1/2 yrs old of cancer (also hatchery, raised with and same age as Caroline)

I really didn't plan to keep a breeding group of anything other than my old line Barred Plymouth Rocks (also have some in the incubator, due in a week) but I am completely in love with the Blue Partridge, especially, so it would be difficult to rehome a gorgeous blue partridge male! May have to just keep a small breeding group and put a couple of pullets in with the BRs, too, to give Atlas an "exotic woman", LOL. As long as I have room in the barn!

Caroline, who keeps on trucking, in spite of pendulous crop and resulting periodic bouts of sour crop.


Separated during one of her latest bouts to limit her feed and treat her water. She hasn't laid since she was 7 yrs old.




This was sweet Miranda, who passed away a few years ago. She was so pretty, though obviously not pure for pea comb. She laid very early for a Brahma, at 19 weeks old. Caroline waited until 30 wks.
