Im using one now. Chicks are 2 weeks old. 27 are sound asleep under it right now. I will never use a red heat lamp again. Mine came with instructions. It does get very warm.. but no fire worries from water or bedding. Use a thermomoter and raise it once a week. Two major differences in...

Anyone ever crossed a large brahma with saipan?

When my Malays ansd Saipans mature, they will be crossed with my standard buff Brahmas. I have females and males of each breed. Not sure where to start yet. Id like to add the mellow temperament, good laying, and more feathers to the outstanding orientals. How fun. Ill post pics.

Too bad no one coud offer advice on diet when mixing brahmas and malay/saipan chicks. The hatchery/breeder debate song is played all over this site. Way too often. I will find somewhere else for friendly, non judgemental advice.

My 5 month old gals from Ideal... They are so quiet and mellow. I love how their heads look like doves. My next order will be a straight run From Mcmurry...

Are Ideals Hatchery birds good? I live in the Cascade mts.. 3 feet snow now.. 27 degrees. Placing an order in April for more buff brahmas, which are my first love.
