What does this mean exactly? Is it referring to his crappy feathers :rolleyes:? I was thinking that was the "tail shredder" gene perhaps? I only have pure brahma - no other breeds.
Qualifying statement - I just have a small flock of my own for fun and am learning as I go. I'm sure that is readily apparent from my post and questions ;). Thanks for the help.
I'm partly trying to determine which of my birds are split for lavender (if this is a self blue) as I hatched this...
Anyone willing to help me learn about blue vs. self blue in the brahma breed?
Wondering if this chick is just a blue shade variant or potentially self blue? Tips on identifying the difference?
I know this is an old thread...am looking for some input on the color of this chick if anyone happens to still be following this discussion. Thank you!
I haven't been on here in a long time! I have a small flock of LF brahma. I am wondering how to tell the difference between lavender and pearl gray partridge?
I haven't posted here in a while. I am in Ft. Collins and have a small flock of brahma. I have several splash chicks that are less than a week old that will need homes. PM me if you are interested.
This is a juvenile - I tried to take a similar angle to your photo so you can see the pointy feathers coming in. Next photo from the side.
Here is the side view...
Entire view!
These are ~ 4-5 month old boys.
I agree they look pullet-ish. I have been wrong a number of times now trying to sex brahma chicks based on wing feathers, or juveniles based on other features. I always wait until the pointed tail saddle feathers develop to feel certain. I can post a pick of two juvenile brahma roosters if you...
Hi all,
I need to find homes for a couple of my brahma roosters (I know, I know)... and would love them to go to someone who likes the breed. I am working on breeding blue brahma, and have two young, very beautiful and nice cockerels (they love each other currently and live with three other...
Thanks so much! Not at all too much information - this is super. These chicks are right at 4 weeks. I am pretty confident I see vulture hocks in 2/5 but I may be a tiny bit on the early side for detecting it. And yes - correct on the origin of some of my stock. I'm mostly playing around - not...
I posted in the backyard brahma thread a while ago and am moving over here, as this may become a project and I need a little input. How young do you assess for vulture hocks in brahma? I am concerned I might be seeing this in a chick or two - no parents show the trait. Thank you.
