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?
