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...
Meet Captain Jack Sparoo
He is a 16wk old Light Brahma cockerel.
He gets along with dogs but will chase away rabbits from the gardens.
He will make a fantastic rooster as he matures. He is always the first out the coop in the morning and the last one to go in at night. He makes sure all the...
I wanted to go ahead and introduce myself as I am getting back into the chicken rearing and community is everything!
Hi, I'm Jade!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes and no, lol! I got my first 2 chickens when I was 5 in 2004, but I never had any chickens after...
We have a flock of 11. 6 Brahmas and 5 Barred Rock. I specifically ordered one Brahma roo, and the rest hens. But I got a surprise extra Brahma in the order. Along the way we lost a Brahma, which I assume was a pullet. As they have developed, this one is looking more and more like a roo. So...
So I have 14 unsexed buff brahmas and they're about a month old. Any ideas on how to tell their sex?
I've tried holding them by their head like a lot of yourube videos have shown, but every single one freaks out and pulls their head in when I do it. I got some pictures below of them taking time...
Hi, I'm a relatively new chicken owner (had some as a kid, don't remember much) and we got ahold of about 14 buff brahmas(unsexed chicks so that will be fun). We've got them for eggs and meat, but will likely have fun with the chickens until the time comes. The wife and I have about 8.5 acres of...
So the wife and I got ahold of 14 unsexed buff brahmas, and they're about 2.5 weeks old. We don't know how many are male or female, but any excess roosters will likely end up as dinner.
How big of a coop will be needed? I've tried looking around for suggestions but most of what I find are...
Hi!! I have 7 chicks
4 I got from the tractor supply pullet bins. 2 Smokey pears, 2 ISA browns
3 I got from a local breeder
2 are Araucana/Maran crosses (olive eggers)
1 is a brahama, we thought partridge but I sent her photos and she said buff.
Anywho. The two little olive eggers we think...
