    7 month Beautiful Light Brahma Roo in CT

    Hatched him from an egg, he is big, strong and healthy. He is easy going, hand raised, seeks out affection from me. I really don't want to let him go. He is just too noisy for my area and needs a home a little further out in the country. Photos sent to those interested.

    Congrats to everyone. I'm having a blast playing with the babies, and my dogs are pretty cool with them too. So I think it's time to start a 8/12 raising babies thread, would be neat to see everyones chicks as they grow up. I just had my first run in with pasty butt, wasn't bad, don't think...
