    New brahma flock owner from NC

    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...

    How big of a coop do buff brahmas need?

    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...

    Ursula or Ursuhim?

    I know everyone keeps saying that chicks have to be at least 6 weeks old before you can tell their gender. However, I have one sweetheart named Ursula and they are just soooo much different than their counterparts. They turned 4 weeks old this past Monday. I have 7 Brahmas altogether and...

    ~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...

    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...

    Tips from those who keep house chickens

    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...

    Is this a light and dark brahma mix?

    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...

    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...
