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:
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...
