    Ursula or Ursuhim?

    ~3wk Brahma Chick not walking on one leg. Video attached.

    I am posting on behalf of a chicken owner who does not have an account here, so bear with me. (Yes, I will inform them this forum exists. :-] ) Said chicken owner noticed their ~3wk old Brahma chick limping suddenly. It is eating and drinking perfectly, and seems to be aware and active despite...

    Older pullet caring for a younger one!

    Has anyone had older pullet caring for a younger one? I have this brahma that had a broken leg she went through several surgeries so i had to separate her from the flock members. I didn’t want her to feel lonely so i had put her in with two silkie pullets (1-2 month younger). Sadly one of them...

    9 chicks with potential foot and nose issues

    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...

    Help with Bully Brahma

    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...

    Hen Pecking at Brahma’s Feet

    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...

    Is $150 a hen fair for show Brahmas?

    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?

    11 week old Brahmas - all hens?

    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...

    Lazy or obese cockerel?

    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...

    Coop considerations for brahmas?

    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...

    Brahma refuses to perch

    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...
