Hi. We have five 11-14 week old chickens in question. I’m really hoping to be able to keep at least a few but it’s seeming like many of them are turning out to be cockerels…
These are the chickens I’d like to get opinions on:
1. Brahma
2. Smaller white silkie
3. Black silkie. Second white...
Hello fellow chicken lovers. Can I get some thoughts on the gender of these Brahmas? They are supposed to be female but they certainly don't act like it. I've never had this breed before. I got them as chick's from a breeder who assured me they were ladies. But I have seen at least one of...
Roughly 6 mo Brahma pullet. I think she is laying based on age but haven’t witnessed it.
Normally a big eater (her name is Chonk). I noticed her standing alone yesterday, not eating and her face appeared pale.
I separated her immediately. She will not eat or drink. Tried blueberries...
I hatched a lot of eggs from my mixed flock of chickens over the summer, one of the chickens I hatched is a dark Brahma rooster. He hatched from a dark Brahma egg and I’m positive he came from the dark Brahma rooster, the only other Roos were a golden laced polish and an old English Wheaton...
Hi everyone, first post here! I have some questions about two Brahma chicks.
I have acquired my first brooder chicks - two Dark Brahmas. One is considerably smaller than the other.
I was told they were both pullets, 2 weeks old and it is definitely too early to tell, but I wanted to post here...
Hey y’all! I’m incubating and hatching my first set of eggs! I set eight in my incubator, today is day 20. 4 have already successfully hatched, two more have pipped and I expect them to fully hatch in the next few hours.
So far I have not had any problems!
I have a couple questions though:
1)...
Granted we are only on day 2 with our brand new baby chicks. I got light brahmas and spotted Sussex. Heard the brahmas are so kind and loving. They are running away from me and don’t like to be held. They are eating well and active. Seem scared. I am being super gentle and kind. Am I doing...
Hi, I have posted about Jazzi before about her breed and gender but here I am at 8 weeks with no clue!!
We originally thought she was a Faverolle, but someone on here mentioned she could be a Brahma or both so we now think that is right and she is a mix of both. She has extremely fluffy feet...
Pls advise! Nesting box height for:
-2 brahma chickens
-2 rhode island red chickens
-2 ducks
All 6 will be in same coop. Understand brahma wont fly high to nest and ducks/brahma need bigger nesting box. Nesting boxes, can I build 3 at 12 inch height from ground and 3 at 24 inch height form...
Hello! I’m new to backyard chicken. My husband and I live in South Carolina. Our first batch of 4 heritage birds turned out to all be roosters, so we had to rehome them. Now, We have an adult white Americauna hen and adult White Face Spanish hen. We have 10 week old Light Brahma (not sure on...
I have two dark brahma hens, one light brahma hen, and a light brahma rooster, all about a year old. I bought them all together a couple weeks ago, but the rooster needs more hens, which now I cannot find any more brahma hens around me. He is making the hens back raw, even with the saddle on...
