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...
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...
looking to rehome my rooster, I have too many.
I live in central florida
i am willing to deliver within a certain mile radius, just ask! He is strong, healthy, & parasite free.
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?
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!
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...
Five beautiful, healthy and friendly chickens looking for a new home. We are moving and sadly can't take our girls. We have 2 grey Orpingtons, 1 black Orpington, 1 light Brahma and 1 partridge Cochin. They were all born in April of last year and are the sweetest things! They will eat from your...
About a week ago this chick (2.5 weeks old) started limping, thinking it was a sprain we examined her and found her leg to look just like her other, no heat, no discoloration, no bend, no swelling, it appeared normal. However 2 days ago I noticed some redness and some swelling near the top of...
I currently have 3 Brahma Roosters (2 dark 1 buff) that I am looking to rehome from my group that are going on 15 weeks old. They have been pretty good around each other except the dark ones kinda worked together keeping the buff one at the bottom of the pecking order, pecking his rear big...
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.
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...
Wondering on my breeds if any of you have these kinds around what age they layed their first eggs? Mine should be any day and I’m so excited it’s like waiting for Christmas morning. I have almost 16 week olds!
Breeds: buff brahmas (I know they are later layers)
Easter eggers

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...
I received this chick as a freebie when the other 15 I ordered? I think it looks like a Brahma but I'm not sure. It is around 6 weeks old. Can anyone help?
Making this thread so you can show off your peeps! Post pics and there breeds or mixes! I would also love to see cool crosses! Also hoping to get some inspo on some more potential breeds I love seeing them!
Here’s some of ours!
1) we have our Rooster who is an EE I think brown red ameracauna...
We have a small flock of 4 backyard laying hens. We are looking to add another 2 hens (live in city limits, so we can have 6 hens total, and hopefully on the quieter end, pullet chicks). We have 2 Barred Plymouth Rocks, a Sapphire Gem and a Sapphire Olive Egger. All are pretty great foragers...
Hello! I hatched some chicks and I have some questions about their coloration.
The one on the left has hardly any feathers on the feet, cheeks like my EE hens and has black running down her legs and onto her toes. The feathers on the black spots are also black. My hens with beards are a blue...
I have (had?) A Brahma hen just over a year old. She disappeared without a trace well over a month ago, and after asking around the neighborhood, I figured that something had taken her. I was sad, because Beatrice was one of my favorite girls (a lot of sass, that one), but I made my peace and...
