Here are a few pictures of one of our light Brahmas. Assuming this is in fact a light Brahma (I’ve looked up other photos of them and I feel like I may have dark Brahmas or something else), I’m thinking this little one is a cockerel. He looks so different from the other four Brahmas we have. He...

Hello everyone. I'm not new to Backyard Chickens, the site, nor am I to chickens, but I just joined here to help you all!
Currently, we have 4, sweet as can be, Barnevelder hens, and we are currently raising 6 chicks right now. They are all hens, at least that's what we asked for.
The breeds...
I believe my Light Brahma rooster got over zealous with this lady. I don't know for sure, but it's a hunch? I suppose it could have been from one of the other hens. I have 9 hens and 1 roo. Found her like this in the afternoon. We brought her inside to investigate further, she ate and drank with...
Hey everyone! I picked up a single supposed full size white Brahma chick the other day. Long story behind that, anyway the lady I got her from said she’s about 7 weeks, but she’s much smaller than my 5 week old EE. Was wondering your thoughts.
I have an 8 week old Light Brahma. I believe a rodent may have bitten her when she was about 4 weeks old. There was a mark on the top and a chunk out of her bottom beak. I have continued to watch it and it had healed with no issue. The beak has changed and now there is a noticeable pointed part...
Hello everyone!
I'm a brand new chicken owner and proudly raising 6 hens ( 3 barred rock and 3 light brahmas ). I just found this website through a google search and am looking to share my story with other chicken owners and learn about how to best take care of these chickens .
Thanks...
Hello,
I have a pullet who was sick about a week ago. I treated her with corid and SafeGuard and she seemed to recover so I put her back with her flock. This morning she has a bad limp in her right leg. There is no obvious injuries - swelling, blood etc. I cant tell what part of her leg is...
This is my first time having chickens I bought all pullets but some of my chickens are starting to get a bit red, could you please help me determine their genders. Light Brahma 1
This one had more waddle growth, it's comb get much paler when it's laying down.
Light Brahma 2

With my current set-up, I have a Light Brahma Rooster over all my hens. Last season I hatched about 8 chicks which all still hold onto the Light Columbia pattern very closely, with the exception of one chick that looks like she got a bit of the dark brahma's pattern just a bit (Currently don't...
Hi, I have this show quality light Brahma breeding project that I have been breeding and selling the offspring, but I have recently decided that instead of just selling the whole batch I want to pick out a few females to replace some of mine that are getting older and won’t be showing much...
I recently ordered a light Brahma (August of this year), super sweet little bird, I actually love him/her quite a bit. But I’m afraid even that even ordering only hens, I may have ended up with another rooster (in fact I’m almost positive. My luck with getting roosters honestly..) I’m pretty...
I have an 8mo old light Brahma who has had some bleeding on her feet the last 5-6 days. I noticed a small spot at first and didn’t think much of it. But today there is obviously more and she seems to me favoring the foot slightly. I have included photos. She is eating, drinking, and laying (as...
Here is my light Brahma Roo. HE is just under 9 months and getting big! almost triple the size of all my other chickens (mostly RIR and Red Sex Link). I just think he is so gorgeous! New coop Under construction in the background. Also video of him crowing at 6 months linked below.
Hi there! I recently got a little buff (such a sweet girl) and a light brahma - I'm a bit worried she's a roo because she's so big, although I know the breed is big anyway! I'm not sure we can have roos and my husband will kill me but after raising her from 8 weeks (now 16) we're already...
