    How many roosters do I have?

    Hi everyone, I hatched out 2 eggs from my own flock (white Brahma) and bought 5 more chicks (“Blue” Laced Wyandottes) from the feed store. None of the birds were sexed. They are 7.5 weeks old today and I’m starting to think I got mainly roosters. 😅 I get very attached (so does my husband) so if...

    Geese, Ducks, and Roos

    I have a question about mixing a flock and also what to expect from a roo (or two). Currently, we have 2 Embden geese (f). We also have 2 mallard drakes and a Rouen female, which wasn't intentional or ideal. We are going to expand next year. Flock size, pen, and water pools/pond. 2 more geese...

    My first post outside of the goose forum! So this week we will be taking on some new birds, we are getting one adult brahma male and 2 younger males plus 4 young Muscovy ducks. We have only ever handled geese before so this will be very new to us! Any advice is incredibly welcome. We don’t...

    Black and gold Brahma boy (maybe girl???)

    Hi! Here is my 17 week old Brahma, Debby. I’m assuming that Debby is a boy but am not 100% sure. Up until a couple of weeks ago Debby was completely black but has recently started to grow some gold feathers on the wings and head. What colour does this make him/her? Does it have anything to do...

    Lice treatment for rooster

    I'm mostly posting because I need reassurance that I'm doing the right thing. I have a Brahma rooster that is covered in lice & nits.... I discovered the infestation because he has been laying down a lot, & very wobbly when he's up trying to keep up with the flock, & I was checking for...

    Light Brahma 18 -19 weeks old laid first egg

    I've tried to search and research, and while most say Brahma laying age is between 6-7 months, I did find ONE post that said hatchery pullets can lay early. Ours are 18.5(ish) weeks, gotten from TSC(Hoovers)when they were roughly a week old. Bianca, our reddest of the Light Brahmas has been...

    8 week Brahmas?

    These are RK pullets… or are supposed to be 😂 they were sold as buff Brahma pullets and they all looked the same when I got them but now that they’re feathered there’s obvious differences. Are they still all considered buff Brahma? Also, is the one with the red comb a roo?

    Light Brahma pullet or cockerel?

    My newest brahmas are 10 weeks old and I don’t remember my buff Brahma pullets being so red so early and this light Brahma is making me question because they are becoming red faster? What do you think pullet or roo?

    Hello! I’ve hatched three lovely Brahmas three weeks ago, can anyone help me figure out their colours? I was thinking maybe a gold partridge and an Isabella? Really not sure about the third one. Thanks!

    3 week old Brahma chick colour?

    Hello! 3 weeks ago I hatched a mixture of different breeds, and I got some Brahmas! I'm pretty sure I've identified a Gold Partridge baby and an Isabella one too. But I'm struggling to tell what colour the third chick is, does anyone have any ideas? Her fluffy down on her chest and belly is a...

    9 week old brahmas. Genders?

    The lighter one is turning lavander. Pretty sure she's a hen. The dark brahma seems to be a roo which is great. We wanted a roo to add to the flock. Looking for some input from experienced brahma owners.

    Buff Brahma gender?

    I have 3 buff brahmas and I am noticing they all look so similar except one has super red wattles and comb, her comb looks bigger than the others as well? She is 16 weeks is she a pullet maturing faster or is she actually a he? She is far more dominant and definitely the dominant hen of the coop...

    Handicap Ramp for Brahma

    I have a chunky-butt Brahma rooster who likes to be on the top roost (at 5') with the ladies, but was terrified to get down in the morning. I was worried that he would injure his legs, so I built ramps going up to the roost. They work perfect. He walks up and down and now even some of the hens...
