I'll be there with my Brahms!

update?

Went to the Fowl Fest in Birch Run, MI last weekend and had a light hen take Best of Breed. I was quite impressed with how well she did. Most of my birds are either coming out of molt or going into molt. Next show will be the Ohio National. I'm picking up a trio of light brahmas from Mark...

I'll be there picking up brahmas! Not going to show....don't feel like leaving at 3 in the morning to make there in time to show.

Oh, now this is interesting. I've been wanting to try this for some time! I hope this works out for you!

I have decided to down size my flocks for the next two or three years. Here's what is going: OEGB: crele (1 male and three pullets) $40 for them cuckoo (2 cockerels and 2 pullets) $40/all brown red (one pair) $20/pair Three light brahma pullets $40/each Four hens (2 years old) $35 each Three...

I caved today and started collecting more eggs to hatch. This is going to be more of a trial batch of eggs. I have a pen of lights with a buff male. Hoping for some nice buff females! When I get my Peterson lights I'm going to breed them to a buff male once I get I sufficient amount of light...

Thank you!

My light female took reserve variety and my buff cock also got reserve variety. In the junior show I got reserve variety in both the lights and buffs with cockerels. Did...

Heading to a show in Canfield tomorrow with eight brahmas. Let's see how it goes!

I would just like to elaborate on the last part here. If anyone plans on breeding for awhile without new stock being added you'd probably want at least three or four pens of each variety/breed. Keeps the genetics nicely mixed up for longer.

I have one dozen hatching eggs for sale from two of my buff Brahma breeding pens. Both pens are trios and the eggs have been showing great fertility this season. I will not be held responsible for how the eggs arrive to the buyer. I will try my very best to package them as well as I can to...

Interesting, I'll put some thought into maybe only doing the 28% for less time before I lower it a bit more. Thank you for the input!
