I suggest that you take pictures of your birds every week so you can refer back to see what was the first indicator in your flock. The wattles might work for you where others use tail feathers or shank size.

I have at least one and maybe three pullets have better tail angle. I switched the C late in the spring in an effort to increase my percentage of fertile eggs and he might have been the cause of the better pullets.

your TSC pullet should/could lay any month, the other two might be spring as the days get longer. comb color is what I use to determine "old enough"

I don't expect eggs from mine until next March, 11 months old

half way through my pullets first summer of laying the eggs shells became thin (breaking in the nest), I started putting a little oyster shell on top of the feather fixer. Eggs are fine a couple of weeks later.

I have not been sorry for the $200 I spent to get a trio of Brahmas from a guy that won the national championship.....$75 for the birds and $125 for shipping

try the "Poultry Press", I remember someone in the Carolinas

they should be super large brooding machines

James Colson (listed in the breeder directory) is near enough for me to drive, did you (or anyone else) see his birds in Ohio last fall? What are the opinions of those on this thread with crossing Mr. Colson's birds with the ones that I have from Mr. Burchett.

thanks, too related is a problem I need to address

I purchased two K and one P from Dave Burchett to start my attempts at raising them. The Australorps came from Duane Urch. The problems I am having are many. Seems like I take steps back as I try to correct my "chicken" mistakes, other problems are from my ignorance as a "brahma" specific...

with your experience of too low humidity in the first 18 days causing late hatches I will increase my humidity level next year hatching season. thanks for your help John

that does help, I will work on the humidity. What are the two humidity levels that you strive to achieve (before day 18 and after day 18)?

mine are hatching 24-48 hours later than my australorps. I am asking if the standard 21 days is also consistent with this breed and my strain is slower by about 36 hours.

what have you found to be the typical length of time it takes for brahma to hatch?

15 buff chicks with my management skills the main problem. ten eggs going into the hatcher tray today, this is the last for me this year.

I am having a terrible brahma hatching season. My australorp are hatching 10 to one over my brahma, trimmed vents, changed cocks, dreaming of other ideas like leaving a male in the breeding pen for a day or two and then changing, I have four males but only one favorite, the other three might be...

I am a new "Standard" breeder and will take a stab at it to see if others more experienced will critique my critique: I like the back line. The shape of chest seems to be correct. The wings are held too low. Head is too small (crow) color is similar to what I have come to expect but I want to...

I see you were able to change your name
