Just wanted to share a story!
We have 6 dark brahma hens and a buff brahma rooster we got about 5 months after we got the hens but they're about the same age. When we brought the rooster in, the hens were terrible to him for about 2 weeks. All were picking on him until he matured a bit and took...
Does anyone know what breed this little orange lady is? She has been hanging out in our yard the past few days so we put her in the pen with ours.. Just curious what kind she is!
Thank you! We spoil them haha. Going to have to start checking around the yard for eggs ;)
Oh boy! I had a feeling based on how the 2 of them act vs the other one. Was planning on getting 3 females for them, but I guess I won't have to! Hopefully I come across an egg soon :D
I was told all 3 were males when I got them last summer, but the largest(right in picture) has mounted the smallest(middle) today.. He has also developed quite the attitude while the other two are calm and quiet.
Are males known for doing this when no females are around? Or is he actually a female?
We're lucky they aren't too bad! We free-ranged them together for a while. They usually will just give the hens a bite on the tail when they get too close to them haha
First winter and snow for our 3 boys! They didn't really know what to think when I let them out of their house this morning! Took one step outside, then turned right around and went back inside haha! They finally ended up coming out and made their way around the yard :)
Our 3 boys are quite the talkers! Always chattering and honking at us when we talk to them. And they have discussions amongst themselves constantly. I love it!
Just wanted to share a few pictures of my 3 boys! They're never more than a few feet away from my boyfriend and I when we are outside and spend most of their time on the back porch where they can see us through the sliding doors! They are about 5 months old now. Love them to pieces!

We have 3 8 week old toulouse geese and 6 15 week old brahma hens. We have been feeding them all a chick starter/grower, geese only get some at night with brewers yeast added and graze all day. We let them all free-range when we are home so they forage most of the day. We ran out of the...
