Are these brahma packing peanuts considered light brahmas?

LOL! I wondered what that meant the first time I read it too.


So would these be considered light brahmas?

I know Ideal sells standard Brahmas because I got two of them last year, unless they've changed something. Yes, they are Lt. Brahmas.

Thanks Cyn. I don't know why I couldn't find it before, but I went back and checked and saw that they do sell standard light brahmas. These guys are really funny the way they jump and fly around the yard and bump chests all day long. They will be donated to the FFA's little buckaroo rodeo in a month for the kids' chicken scramble.

Here is some pics of my standard light brahma cockerel, from Ideal. He's 8 weeks old in the first pic, nine in the second one. All chicks do the chest bumping routine. Your pullets have to fight for their place in the pecking order too.

Yep he looks the same as the ones that I have.

Yes I have seen all the chicks do the chest bumping, but these 5 plus the ameraucana cockerels that I have seem to do it all day long. They never tire of it.

Looks like lt. brahmas to me too. I guess you now know what you have???? LOL

Yep they are light brahma cockerels. I have known they are cockerels mostly since they were shipped as packing peanuts. I now have about 16 cockerels in addition to the 3 roosters that I have. So the list goes:

5 light brahma cockerels
4 EE cockerels- I'm keeping one that is lemon blue
2 silkie cockerels- one is cuckoo and one is splash, both will probably stay here
1 millie fleur cockerel- he's a beauty and will stay here with whatever girls I can manage to hatch for him.
2 rlw cornish cockerels- one I will keep for a meat bird experiment for my layer flock
1 black orpington cockerel- MINE need I say more?
1 splash orpington cockerel- MINE need I say more?

Just typed this out to take stock of what I have. The ones I'm not keeping will be for sale for pickup in eastern Idaho. Those that aren't sold will be going to the kids' rodeo at the beginning of August. So I have 5 light brahma, 3 EE, and one RLW cornish cockerels for sale that are between 8 and 10- weeks old.

Good thiing I don't live closer. I'd start me a light brahma rooster farm!

Mine is such a sweetheart and makes me laugh all the time.

These are really funny because they dash into the pig pen to eat her feed and she chases them around to get them away. While she is busy chasing one, the others hop in the feeder until she comes back around again.

Sorry its off the subject of Brahmas, but could you post a pic of your EE roos? I am curious about the color of "lemon blue".
