Good looking girl! I can see why your so happy with her.

arurarose25, I really like both your lights and buffs. I'm no expert, but from what I do know, I'd say you've got very nice birds and good stock to start with. They appear to have good type, like the nice width in thier skulls and beetle brows, good width in thier backs and decent width in...

Quote: I know she's not in the greatest condition and she has a cold and a bad case of leg mites, but I see potential here. Being a very old bird could be the reason for the poor feather condition and the tail carraige. I'm going to be seeing some more of this guys birds in the spring to...

I really wish I could go to Crossroads! Tim you brought up yet another reason why I'm crying inside because I can't go! Oh, well. I guess I can save up my money for five years and go to the next one, lol! I did however, go to the Big Sky Poultry Expo here in Montana, and found only one...

Quote: I have that model and I like it. I think it's pretty simple and I get great results with many of my hatches. I would research and post this in the Incubating area however instead of here. I don't have a fan and I have stopped using my turner. I had several hatches that were doing...

Quote: I'm very sorry about your loss.

I thought I would ask the Brahma ppl about this since that is what I'll be raising. I'm planning on getting two Hova-Bator 1602N's very soon, I believe this one is without the turbo fan. I'm only starting with a small operation. I'll be using one of the baters for a brooder, and I won't...

Quote: That's not good. Did you try talking to Greg about that? Maybe he could help you with some of that since he bred the birds originally? I have known of him to be a true gentetics geneous, so maybe he has some experience with that problem and he might know what to do.

Quote: Tim63 is currently getting a project started on the whites. I think he has only just started to scratch the surface though. I know Greg Williams has an outstanding line of blacks. This is the Spence/Williams website http://www.freewebs.com/gregwilliamsbrahmas/index.htm I hope this...

Quote: She's a very beautiful color and a great head developing as well! Nice bird! Too bad she was the only one.

Quote: Love your birds! Like you said, such nice heads! Looks like a great addition to the flock. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Quote: I live in the high mountains of Montana and they have always done extremely well here. I've always free ranged most of my birds even in the snowy winter and they've done just fine. Brahmas are among the most cold hardy of breeds you can find, they seem to be able live in the coldest...

Quote: Mallory, I've had the same questions for a couple of breeds, and here's what I learned: Spend several hours with a good breeder, and ask a ton of questions. Get the best birds you can afford from them, and spend a lot of time watching how the birds move, and act, etc. Take pics of...

Quote: Tim you said this stuff could affect the ability to eat the eggs too? I don't know if my hubby would go for that. That's one of the reasons he's letting me get these in the first place. I might just have to live with applying it just before shows. It sounded like your family eats...

Quote: I like this method of show prep. Tim, is there some differences between this method of show prep and Brahma show prep? I guess what I'm asking is, what do you do to prep your birds for shows in comparison? doesn't trimming feathers around the comb fall under the Disqualification...

Quote: Great! I did have another thought. When ever I used to wash my birds I never actually washed the head it self, but it looks like thats all part of it here. What do you do to keep the soap and vinigar out of the birds eyes while rinceing off the head?

Quote: Not that I'm aware of Clare. Tim This is the kind of thing I was referring to. http://harvestbreezefarm.com/PreparingforShow.html I like this method of show prep. Tim, is there some differences between this method of show prep and Brahma show prep? I guess what I'm asking is...

Quote: This is a great idea! I'd love to see some of photos of these as well. I really need to have more of a visual of the "Brahma standard" look. I have only seen a couple of photos of these and I've definitly learned that It's one thing to visualize this, but to see it is a whole...

This is great info, I'm learning so much just reading this! I'm taking lots of notes here, thanks you guys. Keep it up!
