Any EXTRA LARGE brahma U.S. breeders?

[Eric R]

I've seen some videos of some really large/tall bramas on YouTube including the now famous one on Facebook. Are there any breeders in the US that breed especially large brahmas (larger than average) and that ship hatching eggs?

There's one on Ebay, but I'm not sure if they're still breeding, & selling eggs right now.

 

[Eric R]

No one yet on ebay except the standard size.

I have a local friend that breeds them but I don't think she ships eggs. What I will tell you is that they are bottomless pits. They are SO SWEET but they eat a lot so I just wanted to give you a heads up. She free ranges them and ferments their feed to reduce the amount of feed that they need.

 

[Eric R]

Yup. We have a couple along with other breed
S. They can take down a lot of feed that is for sure.

I wonder if the bloodlines just aren't found in the U.S. for these extra large brahmas. I noticed they tend to look longer. The way they walk seems almost lanky.

This thread is old, but I will say that the my Buff Brahma from Carolina Rare Chicks seems to be similar in size to some of the overseas ones. Might not be quite as large, but I'm pretty sure he's close. While I rehomed my Black Brahma cockerels when they were young, I don't doubt that they'd be similar in size to him too. Here are some pictures when my boy Cheeto was only about six months old! He's much more filled out now and is definitely the largest rooster I have ever owned. I can get more recent pictures if wanted
