    My Mixed Flock

    Thanks to all for the nice replies. Yes, my Light Brahmas came from a breeder...........they are large girls, but oh so gentle. Keep your fingers crossed that my two black Ameracuana pullets will be coming my way. Still doing rain dances as Texas has literally dried up and as of late burned...

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!
