From what I've read so far & what my cousin that raises them has said they are great backyard friendly birds... Docile & good with kids... Average layers usually every other day... Not very loud or flighty like some production birds can be... They are huge placid birds... They do eat a lot from what my cousin says...they handle summer & winter well... We live in Texas & he's never had a problem with Texas summer heat... They're a hardy all around birdI was thinking about getting some and was wondering how you can explain how they act and different things about them.Thanks![]()
Cool... I'm doing hens only right now until I get my feet wet. Then I might hatch a few out... I won't ever have a rooster until I have a country spread somewhere

She's very pretty! Our light Brahmas, hatchmates, began to lay at very different times. One began at 5 months, and the other held out for almost a year!
Do you keep an eye on her when she's in the yard? I suspect that my sassy girls were laying while out free ranging because one weekend when they were confined to the coop/run eggs magically appeared in the nest boxes. Coincidence? I don't think so.My LB is huge, people and animal friendly but stubborn... We have yet to get an egg from her.
Yes, I only allow my girls out when someone can be with them. I know she hasn't laid since they are kept in the coop & run until 5pm.Do you keep an eye on her when she's in the yard?
