hey all! i’m new to light brahmas. this is Buttercup, ~3 weeks old. she’s much darker than her sisters, her toe feathers are all dark as well. Will she grow up to have the standard light brahma look or will she stay darker? Thanks in advance!
I’m hearing that as far as the pea comb goes 3 means a male and one means female has that been accurate for you? Has anyone noticed what they thought was a pullet develop a 3 row pea comb and turn out to be a male or still female? Also with tail feather developing later has then been accurate...
Hello all, thank you for having you here. This April will be my one-year mark of becoming a chicken owner, and I have reached my first roadblock that I cannot seem to overcome. I have two buff Brahma among my clean legged birds. Mid January I noticed that one of them had lost considerable amount...
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!
I’m new to chicks I have a couple week old EE and a few day old brahmas. All of the chicks have been super healthy, checked for pasty butt daily or multiple times a day, energetic, comfortable temp (not huddled or in seperate corners) and eating/drinking. Today one of the brahmas Seems so tired...
Curious to see how your chicks grew to look! Currently raising EE and Brahmas! Excited to see all the different colors and looks! Please post your chicks to adults! 🐥
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...
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)...
My 4 week old brahma has had an injured foot since we got her at a few weeks ago, it seems like she can't really move her toes but she's been walking on it pretty normally until a few days ago. Now shes been keeping it curled up and has been walking on her toes and she has a hard swollen purple...
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:
