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...
Hi everyone! I posted these babies a few weeks ago? They’re now 11 weeks and have had so pecking issues. They’re two and both are getting their back feathers picked by other chicks. I HATE that! They get plenty of good food and water with lots of space! 182 sq feet of outdoor run area for 10, 11...
Hello there this is my 6 week old Brahma biggie! it’s my first time owning a Brahma chick and Im in love already! But struggling to work out if this little ones a pullet or a cockerel? And would appreciate any input and help!
My girls are 20weeks and 4 days and just last week I had at least one of them start laying but I think at least two now(light brahma and one of my rhode island reds). Both of their hips/bone structures were of a laying hen and wide enough and their wattles are super bright red. I heard one of...
I have a hen that's being broody, but not broody. She's a splash Brahma as far as I know.
She tidbits the other adult chickens over to her and finds scraps of food.
She does that higher-pitched momma cluck as she's walking around the yard.
She squawls at me if I get too close and fluffs up...
Hello,
Our Brahma hen has what looks like a scab on the top of her foot (black/brown area in the photos) with some redness and bleeding surrounding. Today, we noticed a wound on the side of her leg, just above the same foot. It seems like she has lost feathers where the scab currently is. She...
Is this a cockerel? We got 4 “Pullet” dark brahmas for my mom on Mother’s Day but recently have began to wonder if Krenna here is a boy. They’re about 6-7 weeks old
Hello,
I had a broody hen so decided to put some fertile eggs under her that I bought locally, 3 Sussex and 3 brahmas. Every one of them hatched except one brahma, and all is going well, the mummy takes very good care of them, even now after 6 weeks. They all developed nicely, and have all got...
Hi All,
First-time chicken keeper here, and I purchased a flock of 6 day-old "hens" from McMurray Hatchery, plus the one "mystery chick." I completely understand that sexing chicks is difficult, but I live in a subdivision and I am nervous that I'm ending up with more than the one possible roo...
Bought as a”pullet” was professionally sexed as a young bird but al I can see are saddle feathers... no eggs and no crowing yet.... am returning to breeder but I’d love anyone’s opinion as to whether there was any chance it could be a pullet as if it is I’d love to keep it... but can’t keep...
