One of Brahma roosters is 7 months old and is huge. He is the one in my avatar. I have yet to weigh him.

Breeder of Dark Brahma's and the ever loving Serama's

What does this chick look like now?

Hi everyone, I am getting ready to order some eggs from Florida and they will be in transit for 3 days (if USPS has their crap together). There will only be 8 eggs and I want to know if anyone here has ordered eggs like this, via mail, and what your hatch rate was.

Wow, huge difference. Thank you so much for pointing this out I appreciate it immensely. :)

Stupid phone. I don't know how to delete this comment. sorry.

Hi Scott, I watched all the videos that these people put out. 3 total and if you have seen this one https://www.facebook.com/pressofworld/?pnref=story stop it at -.16 and you will see a shadow of the guys hand as he tosses either a juvenile or it might be a hen. These birds are not that big as...

Thanks huntress, I had ordered some Brahma's and Cochins about a month ago from my local feed store and was posting on another thread on this forum and there were a couple of people that said that they hated their Brahmas that came from hatcheries and that they were smaller than exhibition birds...

I've had good luck with all my hatchery stock with the exception of a pair of ducks and a couple of chickens. My meanest rooster was not hatchery but home raised.

Is there anyone one this thread who have both production (from a hatchery)Brahms's as well as exhibition Brahms's that could provide a photo for comparison as well as trait differences?????

I suppose that depends on the hatchery and how they are raised.

I have ordered 5 Brahma pullets and 1 rooster along with 5 standard Cochin pullets and 1 rooster from our local feed store. Does anyone have a picture of a brahma and a Cochin together side by side?
