    Brahma questions

    So I bought some Brahma chicks from a market yesterday and I got 4 PARTRIDGE and 4 GOLD PARTRIDGE. I am extremely confused as to how breeding colour variants work, is there such thing as just a “partridge Brahma”? Or is it gonna be a “blue partridge” etc. and what happens if you crossed gold...

    Brahma red Pyle and shank color

    Hi, I got 4 brahma chicks from eggs that supposedly came from a red Pyle couple (I saw them and they looked the real deal) but the pullets have a bunch off colours - one looks red pyle, one almost lemon Pyle, one splash, one grey/blue - I'm not as familiarised with brahma colours as other...

    Bubbles has a bubble

    Yesterday I noticed a pretty big welt on our light brahma's face. Checked all the other chicks, no one else has got any similar signs. She doesn't seem to be too bothered by it, letting me check it out. It doesn't feel hard or hot. She's clucking and foraging, seems happy and normal. We recently...

    Weird wing on baby chick!

    Hello! I have a baby Brahma with a weird wing. It didn’t show sings of discomfort when inspecting it and it can move it. Could this be just a growth deformity? Or something else? I just want to make sure it doesn’t affect its quality of life. Chick is less than a week old

    Light, buff or dark Brahma?

    I’ve never owned brahmas so if this sounds like a dumb question I’m sorry 😂 3 of 4 of my little brahmas (the other was hiding) what do you think buff, light or dark? The 4th is similar to the first a little grayer!

    New Brahma Owner

    We have 1 light and 1 dark Brahma- we live in Colorado and are getting ready to put the flock outside as soon as these 2 finish their molting. I've read that Brahmas need some extra attention bc of all their fluff, especially on their feet. Keeping off mud, snow, ice and poop. Also to be aware...

    Which is bigger - Wyandottes or Barred Rock

    Last year, I picked up 6 chicks - 3 Australorps and 3 Light Brahmas. They were all supposed to be females, but one of the Brahmas ended up a rooster. While I'm thrilled to have him, I hadn't planned for him (by the time we knew he was a rooster, there were no more chicks to be had locally)...
