    Backyard Brahmas!!

    You´ll just have to freak them out! The more times you get them, the more they´ll get used to it. Night-time is a good time to catch them if it´s difficult. do what you want, then put them back on their perch. You can tell if it´s something like scaley mite, as the scales on their legs lift...

    Lovely colours.

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    Nice choice, then! You could try each one with her at different times and see which combination you like the most.

    She´s a curious colour, isn´t she? What colour cockbird will you use with her? Back to blue again?

    You´re right! But it (chick) lacks the grace!

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    Some of my chicks are feathering up. These are 7/8 Brahma. 2 of the chicks are normal buffs, but I found these other 3 quite pretty... I´m looking forward to seeing how they are when they´re grown.

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    Living in the tropics, of course, our daylight hours aren´t quite as long nor quite as short as those places further from the equator, so here at the moment my chickens are laying like fury, and we´re getting about 13 or so hours of daylight, which is supposed to be the lower end for good...

    Most of mine are well over 6 months.. more like 8 months when they start to lay. :)

    Oh, sweet. Have a read up of Faverolle chickens, see what you think....looks like it could have that in it.

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    I have hens that have slightly pointed feathers on their saddle area, but they´re wider, don´t grow long, thin and pointy like they do on a cockerel. Well, you know what saddle feathers are, your white cockerel has them. But if your bird´s been mounting the others, then that would certainly...

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    Just my 4penneth, but as we can´t see any saddle feathers (the light cockerel´s head being in the way), I´d say this looks very like a pullet. Maybe Barred Rock x Brahma? I used to have barred rocks, and the females would often have quite red wattles etc, but the one easy difference is that...

    Really fluffy! And very pretty too. Mine are usually older than that before they start to lay.

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    I think it has something other than Brahma in there. I wouldn´t buy it. Too much comb, wattle, body shape all wrong.

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    Oh, haha, I see. Shame about the little one. Here in the house I have a gosling hatching under a desk lamp. Air humidity outside is 18! He´s already pipped, I´m wetting the membrane very regularly!

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    So sweet, you can see there´s a lot of Brahma in them! What´s the other 1/5th? I have some chicks that are 7/8ths Brahma, so sweet. The 1/8th part is Orpington.

    They´re mixed-breed. I can´t help wondering if the breeder had leghorns and Plymouth Rocks there with his cochins/ brahmas. Pretty birds, though. And at least you should get some eggs from some of them.

    They are delightful, aren´t they? So sweet and gentle. And fluffy!

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    Well, she´s essentially a Brahma, but the single comb shows she has a recent introduction of something else in her family line. Some folks use cochins to get the colours, etc, so could just be that. @LadyBroody , If she were bred to a Brahma cock with a good comb, you´d be unlikely to see it...
