So its my first time rearing chicks and I know it's probably a bit early, but hoping someone more experienced can give me an idea, thank you. They are all Brahma around 6 weeks. I can of course take more photos if it helps.
Note: #4 has a bit of wound care applied after cutting his/her comb...
Hi, I have been showing chickens for 3 years through FFA, and I currently have a single buff Brahma bantam cock. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a show feed that is not necessarily for layers (flock raiser type) I am really trying to focus on feather quality and shine. In addition if...
As in another post, our girl Goldie (olive egger) is sitting. Her eggs were not fertile and today we were able to get some.
Ended up with 11 eggs :
6 buff Brahma
3 dark Brahma
2 eggers (from same lady we got our other EEs from yay!)
I got an incubator this past Xmas and haven't been able to...
Hi, I’ve just gotten chickens for the first time. My Brahma hen is about 4 months old and she has started limping recently. It’s gotten worse over the past couple days so I’ve moved her inside so the other chickens won’t pick on her(I don’t think they will anyways because she’s the largest in...
Hello,
I have a 5 year old Brahma hen that stopped laying early this year.
Beginning a few weeks ago, we noticed her limping. I suspected bumble foot when I saw the bottoms of her feet were pink but there was no obvious bumble present. I have done epsom soaks and the limping has stopped but...
Just a journal of how -Goldie- our monthly broody 6 day jailer, gets to try hatching her own eggs. We only gave her four. And maybe it will help her demeanor. We are at wits end with her so hubby thought we could try.
Put them under her today (was waiting for another egg from Beardie, as her...
Hello everyone, I am new to the world of backyard chickens/ducks. I am an Australian living in Bavaria Germany and we have lots of space and a river for our Indian Runner ducks and Brahmas, who keep us busy but satisfied with their character, eggs and babies. Looking forward to learning more...
Does anyone know why or what this redness is on Brahma rooster, Only began when he started to mature and seems to be getting darker as his comb & wattles become darker aswell.
No sign of any mites or anything like that.
Thanks
I just wanted to take a minute and acknowledge the passing of our light Brahma rooster, Willow.
We'd been having some issues with flock dynamics after he reached breeding age, and knew one of our roosters would need to be re-homed, we figured it just wasn't fair to Willow to have him...
I have a light Brahma about 5/6 weeks old who came from a female bin at Runnings. I'm becoming suspicious she is actually a he though because she's got bright red wattles coming in already, and she's turning into a bit of a jerk. She's also surpassed my oldest chick(at least a week older) in...
My light brahma is 17 weeks old.
She has always had big gaps in her wing feathers it seems, and her feet never grew many feathers.
I have another brahma that is a few weeks younger than her that has fully feathered feet and no wing issues.
does anyone know what's going on here? Is this just...
This is my first year with backyard chickens and I purchased what was advertised as Pullets from my local Rural King. I got 3 Brahma, one buff and 2 white, and 1 New Hampshire. If I’m guessing they’re probably 5-7 weeks old and growing like weeds. Just wondering if my Buff Brahma may actually be...
Hi everyone,
We recently were given 2 Purebred Brahma roosters for free, one is approx 5 months old and the larger one is 1 years old. The young one has wry tail and the older one sneezes.
Since they've come I've got them in a separate area away from all my other chooks as this is what I...
Hello fellow chicken friends. I have grown up with chickens my whole life living at my mom and dads and recently became married and bought a house. We had an existing coop with a small run that was already on property. We ripped out the old run and built a 15’x20’ run. We purchased 20 chicks...
Hey guys! So I have this really weird thing going on with 6 week-ish old my brahma chick. He isn't growing up and he's bald!! All my other ones are thriving and fully feathered. I am 100% positive he is getting food and water. What's going on here? I feed Alaska Mill and Feed chick crumble and...
Hi everyone :)
I've hatched and raised Brahmas and absolutely love them but noticed they go broody too often especially in Spring. As much as I love watching them raise their own young it's frustrating because they stop laying especially in Spring when most chooks lay the best eggs.
If I...
Hi! So this year I decided to get into Brahmas!! I am going to get 18 pure Brahma chicks and I am so excited!! Hopefully I will get them tommorow if my Dad has time to pick them up🤞. So the gal has 5 different colored chicks and I was wondering which color you like the best? I am hoping to keep...
Hey all,
I’ve had an injured Brahma for a week now, at first there was no sign of injury, not even swelling, but she had a severe limp so I brought her inside and put her in a crate, and have been giving her 81mg of aspirin twice a day with scrambled eggs.
She continues to eat, drink, and...
