Hello! After many years of going onto this site to troubleshoot and learn, I decided to join the community! I’m a chicken and guinea owner from New York and we’ve owned chickens on and off in the past years. However, this year our flock is bigger than ever and I’m very excited to watch them grow...
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...

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...
