Brahma Thread

[Shark Akhrrana]

Ours free range to a point on our 4 acres, of which only 2 is mowed. We have mulberry trees, an apple tree and many spruce, walnut and other trees plus tall grass that's holds bugs n such.

After introducing my new babies to the flock they started venturing out more. The babies are excellent foragers. They're not brahmas, they're 3 other breeds. The brahmas will b a year old next month.

Our property is about 1/3 of an acre. So sadly I don't have much space . But I think we are doing OK so far.

I charge my chickens 50 cents a day to range.

Funny. Half the time I want ours to shut up!! He's better now that he's getting older (almost a year) but still annoying. If there were more than one I think I'd like it more.

question?
I have read the reviews on the brahma and have not seem comments on the breed to venture out of the coop and free range.
read about one that had his stand at the feeder.
Please respond if you have had experience.

I have a buff I have to go in the coop and pick her up and take her outside she won't even go into the run area.
