Anyone have bramahs

[salshep20]

If u do can u tell me a little aabout them does it have alot of meat

 

[JacinLarkwell]

We used to have some, but apparently they were the coyotes favorite and I cannot for the life of me remember what happened to the last gal we had.

They're okay meat birds, but it takes forever to get them up to their adult weight

Yeah, I do and they are really big birds but it takes many times the time for them to grow up as it does, with, say a Cornish X.

Once Brahmas are fully-grown, which can take a rooster two years, they're fairly hefty. The retired hens from my in-town flock made a very nice pot of chicken and dumplings.

But they're nothing like you'd get from an 8-week Cornish X for a lot less feed.

I love Brahmas, my stately yard-dinosaurs, but they're not the most practical breed from either an egg-laying or a meat production standpoint.
