brahma

Hello! We recently started raising chicks. The first batch is a happy, healthy group of four, still super friendly and cuddly at 12 weeks old. The second batch is a group of nine and although they seem to be thriving so far, I have a few concerns. Firstly, the Spitzhauben chick seems to be...

My otherwise very sweet (and very large) Dark Brahma named Disco just started laying in the last few weeks. She’s around 8-9 months old. She’s an absolute sweetheart with people, but right around the time she started laying she has turned into a huge bully with two of my other chickens. The big...

Hello, my head hen (a Wyandotte) has suddenly started pecking at one of my Brahma’s feet where she has feathers. I have a mixed flock of 7 total, and 3 of them have foot feathers. Only my dark Brahma is getting pecked and only by one hen. I think what happened is my Dark Brahma broke a foot...

I'm adding new chickens to start my breeding program, the breeder is asking 150 for females and 100 for males. Is this a fair price?

Hello! New to the forum, and new to chickens. We have 5 buff Brahmas, almost 11 weeks old. Suppose to all be hens but you know how that goes. I’m just curious if any show any roo traits? We love them so much and would be heartbroken to part with any of them. Our city doesn’t allow roosters...

Im not sure if this cockerel is lazy, obese, or has some kind of condition. He is a brahma cockerel so he is a big breed. But i have realized he is a bit rounder than my other brahmas (they are pullets though). I have felt that he sits down an awful lot. He would pant a lot too even if he is...

Ive decided to make a new coop as my older coop was getting a bit cramped and ive noticed how it was falling apart. I have a brahma cockerel and some brahma pullets in the flock so i wanted to put their bigger bodies into consideration. I have realized that my brahmas have a problem jumping up...

Hey everyone (this one might be a long one), so a little backstory about this girl, got a brahma pullet from a breeder a few months ago. This pullet came with a broken leg which i couldn’t return because i picked her out myself. She looked lively and normal at the breeders but the second day at...

So ive been raising this cockerel i bought as an egg, it is definately a brahma but i am not sure what colour it is? At first i thought it was a light but after getting a light pullet im thinking its not. It does not look like a dark brahma either so im thinking it might be a mix? Sure looked...

This is Slippers. The picture with the darker Feathers.... the chicken I didn't want and now am just so attached to. Friendliest chicken I have ever had. Will ask for me to pick her up and snuggle against my boot when I haven't picked her up. She is a light Brahma and I am just hoping that I...

Hi all - I'm looking for advice about roosting behavior or lack thereof. I have a Brahma hen (a little over a year old) who refuses to perch at night. Instead she mostly sleeps in the nesting box. She perched with the 3 other birds until a couple months ago, then he just stopped. She is not...

Hello! If anyone was following from my shipped eggs post I figured it would be easier to put everything in a Hatch-A-Long to keep updating as kinda a journal! I'll go copy/paste my couple updates from the shipped eggs post below and can't wait to continue watching these eggs develop! Eggs...

so ive just gotten this brahma about a month ago and i didnt notice her limping until the next day when she started laying down a lot. eveyday that passed her limp is getting worse, and now she is not using it at all and hopping on one leg. she had a bad case of mites but the vet has fixed that...

I am now growing more and more worried of a lemon pyle brahma pullet i just got, i am suspicious of it’s tail feathers but im not sure if it si exactly the start of saddle feathers. Breeder told me 100% pullet. Its feathers is pretty broken from being in a wire brooder. It is around 3-4 months...

Hello so ive just got 2 brahma pullets for my brahma cock(i think?) so he has some girlfriends that are the same breed. Well i picked these two a few days ago, a lemon pyle brahma and a light brahma. They are 2-3 months old and the lemon is older than the light so is significantly bigger. The...

hello everyone, so my brahma chick is 6 weeks old now, but her (not sure but hoping its a pullet) feathering is slower than even my 4 week old chicks. the bantam she hatched with is almost 100% fully feathered but i do know they feather rather quickly. Although this seems exessive and i have...

I might buy this chicken and I’m wondering your guesses on what breed it is. It seems to have a pea comb so thinking ameraucana cross or brahma cross. I don’t see a beard but can an Ameraucana cross not have a beard? I’m really hoping it would lay a coloured egg but if it’s leaning more towards...

I got my first flock of chickens in June, 5 adult hens and 5 young brahmas from a friend, but he got the brahmas from another farm as hatching eggs. I can’t find many examples of these three patterns in particular, and would like to know what their names are for future reference. They are about...

Just need some more expert or layman opinions. I've got 3 5 1/2 month old light Brahmas, 2 are fairly larger than the other one. None are attempting to crow. I'm not the greatest at figuring out their sexes. They were straight run, got them because all had severe pasty butt and employees were...
