Um.....just to give a bit more information.....my brahma chickens have been purchased from a Thai breeder here in Thailand, who just 2 years ago imported fertile eggs from The Netherlands. He has built up his stock to something like 100 chickens now. Yes, I think they do have vulture hocks...

Phew thanks Tim. So, any thoughts then on whether pullet or roo? I'll see if I can post better photos

Maidenwolf, Now you've got me worried...a Cochin and not a Brahma? The store where I bought the chicks do have Cochins, however only bantam Cochins. This is a very tall chick, almost as tall and definately as wide as the roo chick. Does anyone else agree that I have a Cochin chick and not a...

Thanks Big Medicine....guess I'll just have to wait to see which ones develop into keepers. The first photo (Chick no. 1) I'm unsure if this is a pullet or not. Is there anything that screams pullet to anyone please? If someone could please help me figure out this one chick I'd sure...

hi Big M, would love to hear what you think of my new chicks please kind regards, Angela, Thailand

I just bought 7 week old Brahma chicks - Yaay!! I would appreciate everyone's opinions please as to whether they are pullets or cockerels. They are LF light brahma and LF buff brahma. I'm thinking I've got 3 pullets and one cockerel....although I am questioning this first chick. The comb is...

Quote: i just quoted this because i just wanted to ask you about your username? Hi Silky, My username is thailand because I live in Thailand. I'm a New Zealander who's been living here for the last 6 1/2 years with my husband and two adult children. We have taken 5 abused Thai kids into...

Thanks Tim Patience and lots of note taking it is then! Actually I have a quick question please - might it be that over this side of world things could be backwards? What I mean is because of my location being Thailand, could feather growth be the other way around and males feather in...

Congratulations! I have 3 new three week old chicks that I was hoping Brahma experts could help me to sex please? I know it's very early, maybe too early to tell much yet? Patience is such a hard thing to master LOL! Anyway, I greatly respect the experience of others on this thread and...

Tim and Dak - what gorgeous birds you have! If I may hijack this thread for just a moment please - one thing I've been noticing a lot lately looking at everyones photos of their beautiful Light Brahma, is that the white on these birds is really white! I have a question about this please...

Quote: I have two roosters, now just over 6 months old. One started seriously crowing about 12 weeks of age. He is my alpha rooster. The other started crowing at about 14 weeks old, but he has yet to master his crowing voice. It's a poor attempt at copying his 'brother'. Guessing it's...

Quote: YES! 8 months seem to be the normal. I'm for some I bred to start, but I know it is soon since I've seen the roos mount her. (She was hatched in December.) I have Light Brahmas and my pullet just laid her very first egg yesterday! She was 2 days short of 26 weeks old and it...

Hi everyone, Tim, you mentioned that you are now trying your birds with cod liver oil. If possible can you please post the link to the thread referring to Anthony's advice re: cod liver oil. I've done a search but can't find that particular thread anywhere, and I have looked back a little way...

Thanks SerenityNH and Miss Lydia. Serenity, I'd love to see photos of your babies. Could you perhaps post some here? They do grow up so very quickly and change so much along the way. How many do you have? Miss Lydia - do you also have Brahmas? I love seeing other people's birds! Please...

Hi Everyone, Thought I'd post some updated pics of my three. It's been really interesting to watch them develop. They sure have changed so much! Here's Matilda at 3 weeks old: And now at 17 weeks old tomorrow: Here's d'Artagnan (previously known as Sybil) ha ha! at 3 weeks old...

Congratulations KinderKorner from Thailand too! That's so exciting....I can only imagine how you must feel! I would be very interested to know how old your hens are too? My single hen and 2 roos are only about 3 months old right now, but I'm eagerly waiting for my hen lay her first egg and...

Hi, Ummmm.....I was wanting to post some photos here of my Light Brahmas? Now that they are 7 weeks old I was hoping for some further advice on their gender please. If more photos would be helpful, I have tons! Thanks in advance for your help with this impatient newbie...

Hi everyone, I posted in this Brahma thread a few pages back, and have since posted under "What Breed or Gender is This?" Hi again to Dak, Illia and SarahIrl. If no one minds, may I post photos of my 3 brahmas here for your opinions? I have up-to-date photos just taken this morning. They...

Hi again, I have four new questions please... 1. I have checked out what is available here in the way of chicken food and medicated chicken food is simply not to be had. So, if I want to avoid cocciodosis then is there any other means beside medicated food or vaccination (also not available)...

Hi Tim, Thanks for your advice. If I may ask a stupid question now.....what type of fan would be best to install, a plug-in free standing type or exhaust type of fan that fits into the wall? There is a power box on the wall inside the coop. Would this be safe to keep and plug a fan into or...
