No idea Don--someone in New Brunswick, Canada. He has Light Sussex...so...maybe someone got in the woodpile. :( I believe he added birds from both hatcheries and a breeder in Quebec--he says he's never had a light one pop up--these chicks are now white--white heads, too. One is really, really...

Fabulous! Disregard the Silkie--from pure buff birds--I now have 3 light Brahmas! They are quite striking but no one has a light mother or father, or grandparents--so I guess it's further in their background?

I call it "Chick TV".

Thank you, Big Medicine--I really like my biggest male, look at his butt-- he's got the right shape I believe--and is pretty wide--that's a large horse feed pan he's standing in, and again--only 10 months old. He's healthy and am seeing some nice looking larger...

Oh--then maybe I have a female line? The adult females are very, very cleanly marked- with very little ticking or mossiness/smut. No errant black feathers either. I asked an APA/ABA judge what I can do to get birds that are more even in colour--with better saddles and better size, and his...

I love these birds and I think there is hope that I can at least make my flock better--I have heard it is next to impossible to find "good" Standard Buff Brahmas, at least in Canada. They just aren't. Too much red in the males wings, lack of enough black in the saddle...narrow heads...so I'm...

I was just wishful thinking... Went back and looked at pictures of the chicks I got last year to start this project, and I do recognize a couple of individuals--my littlest female and largest male...I guess I'll just have to go with my gut, chose the largest and hope I chose some of each. Other...

I'd be happy if someone could answer MY question now... :) I'm in NS, so not really sure where other breeders are, as I don't have any of the breeds you've mentioned. Sebrights are tough to raise and keep alive, as they are very succeptible to Marek's. In New Brunswick, Vance Foreman may be...

Did you try Beamers Poultry? He raises largefowl Light and Dark, and bantam all varieties I believe.

There are lots of good buff bantams all over Canada--it's finding good Standards that is the trouble. What province are you in? I have Standard Buffs--not show quality because they are too red, but I just had a humungous hatch of 30 Buff chicks--I'm over the moon--in my old reliable Hovabator--I...

I had 5 dozen largefowl buff brahma eggs set, and we had a snow storm and 2 day power outage, I chucked all eggs. So, I'm collecting again, but because it is winter, it is Canada--I really should wait till May! I'm collecting till Sunday, and will set again.

Saddle feathers develop from the middle of the back, and are easily identified if you have a bird over a certain age--they start to cascade over the sides and down over the rump. Nothing else has the shape and shine of a saddle feather- they are skinny, and SHINY. In a light Brahma some of the...

My Buff chicks hatched the last week of April- and of 7 pullets, I got 3 eggs today- they started laying last week. I am really surprised--I expected they would grow more and not lay till at least November, so while I'd be happier if they continue to grow and fill out more, I'm happy that I'm...

Looks like Polish or Sultan X Light Brahma. I don't quite "get" it--just because you can put a crest and beard on a Brahma, doesn't mean you should...

It's been years for me, as well! I haven't visited because I lost my login name and it was boring and life got busy, etc. But I really learned deeply and forever--were some of those wicked cool genetics project threads. I'm not sure how much of it is outdated, but I practically have Poultry...

I just remembered a whole lot about genetics- Big Medicine- hi- I remember you from the old, old genetics board at Classroom at the Coop days. I wouldn't have called that Partridge "partridge"- I see a BB Red wild type e+ fowl with hens of the same colour. Close? Isn't a Pyle bird...

I agree. I'm not an APA member because I'm in Canada, but we don't have a Canadian Association-- so I guess that's the place to start. Thanks.

Attention all Brahma Breeders- A challenge. I want your input. Show me some GOOD, correctly coloured and marked Buff cockerels. Use google if you want- just show me a good picture of side on- what you would pin in a show. I have 7 males, 7 female largefowl, from different places, all the same...

Free range? Holy...poop! We have 3 acres and when I let the Brahmas out of their pen, they stampede and use pretty much all those 3 acres! They are super busy at 4 months old- their house and pen are nowhere near where they are in this picture, and that's just a few. Way back behind the horse...

Be totally honest Don-I can take it. I'm not planning to exhibit them, but that doesn't mean I don't want them to be as close to SOP as possible. They are meant to be dual purpose so the culls are useful as well. I already LOVE this breed so I can't see myself going without them ever again. That...
