Quote: Unfortunately I do live in the UK, there have been outbreaks very close to me. I just fear if i take her to the vets they will cull her with out hesitation or any thought and any chickens that live close to me. I know of two other chicken keepers but there are probably more. I'm...

I've checked her over, her comb is very pale and her eyes seem ok although it's hard to look at them both as she seems to have one always closed. I see no evidence of mites or lice, I haven't had her seen by a vet yet. I'm worried that they may want to cull her as there have been bird flu out...

Hi everyone, please could you give me some advice. I'm fairly new to keeping chickens and she is one of my first, I have a about 17 week old Brahma x mix chicken. Her symptoms are really confusing me, she seems to have no energy and is very docile. This is a chicken I normally have to chase...

Thanks for your advice guys, I thought they might still have some growing left to do yet! It's just they have been the same size for sometime now. perhaps my friend is wrong then?

My chicks are 8 weeks old and i'm constantly trying new things with them. when ever i put anything new in with them they freak out and stand in the corner, as if its a monster . It's not exactly feeding them but i had put two whole pumpkins outside so they last longer, one rolled past them and...

Chicks never do! I'm a first time chicken keeper and just can't get over how active these guys are!

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me on when chicks stop growing? I have two 8 week old Brahmas chicks, they haven't really grown for a couple of weeks, a friend of mine says they won't get any bigger. I was wondering what other people think?

Yes they are 'vulture' hocked but this is a preferred standard in Brahmas in the UK

They are still cute, even if they are not up a "breed standard" Here are my 7 week old "Brahma" chicks, which I've been told are also of horrible quality. Either way i love them, Skittle and Nugget. Any ideas if they are pullets or cockerels? Or is it still too early?

I see your point, mine do not have a pea comb. Although I have seen pictures of Brahmas without the pea comb.

I got my chicks from a a breeder who specialises in pure breeds, I would see no reason why they would be mixed if they told me they were pure breeds.

sorry for the late reply here are some more pics. Oh and just to add that they are 4 weeks old tomorrow!!

Sorry I started a new thread, I didn't look thoroughly enough on the forumMy chicks will be four weeks on Tuesday. I know you said from four weeks only, but i'm just too curious!! any ideas on the sex?

Hi All!! Here is a picture of my two three week old brahma chicks! Skittle and Nugget!!! I'm really hoping they are pullets!!!

Hi All, So I've finally chosen the two chicks that i'm keeping(if you are curious I started with 8, six are for friend) and i'm curious as to their sex. I'm quite a newbie and i'm not sure if its still too early to tell the sexes by looking at them. They are three weeks old and they are named...

Hi all, Can any one help, one of my eight three week old Brahma chicks is passing blood. I've had a good look at them all(inspected them including the vent area) but no signs of obvious injuries. They all seem to be eating and drinking fine, they all look well. Does anyone have any ideas as to...

AWWWWWWWWWW 8 of the cutest chicks i have ever seen just turned up!!!

I'm hoping my husband will slowly change his mind, when we got our first rescue cat he was adamant that "it" wouldn't be allowed here, there and everywhere. Now 8 years later i catch him having cuddles and calling him his son! It's rather cute. My chicks are due to be delivered with an hour...

Thanks guys I was really worried that they were going to be super loud! Does any one have a partner that thinks keeping chickens is embarrassing? We have a small garden but it is a considerably larger area than any of the commercial hens get allocated. How big are your gardens?

Hi All, I just wanted to post here as you all seem really friendly! I'm getting 6 Brahma chicks in three days time! I'm so excited, four of them will be moving onto a friend of mine when they reach 8 weeks. But the other two will be staying with me, my husband says that i can only keep them if...
