Backyard Brahmas!!

I will have to look into, and play around with the new version. I guess I book marked the old one, and has always been my go to reference.

s+/s+ would be gold based male-- s+ for female

S/S silver based male -- S for female

S/s+ split silver and gold based male -- no female equivalent

The only difference that I could find between the partridge and the multiple laced was the pattern gene, pg+/pg+ for the partridge and PG/PG for the multiple laced. So, I don't think it matters which one you use as far as I can tell from a few hours of playing around.

So, a question about the silver base. If you had darks, you would have S/S correct? Gold partridge would be s+/s+ (as would the blue partridge)?

I don't know if he does or not. You can PM him to find out.

My one Brahma. I have no clue as to her type or whatnot, but she is very pretty.
The above pic she wasn't feeling good and went to sleep while i was cradling her.

Funny thing.. I've got a trip coming up soon and have worried myself sick over leaving my bator unattended.

If only there were something else I could do....

Granted, this is her first evening of missing roost but I am tickled pink over this sweet girl and her one little egg and pulled feathers.

I have waited all afternoon for the egg that I thought she was working on, but I WAS a little suspicious of her demeanor. Not protective/hateful but just not her normal self (she's a very sweet, friendly girl)..

I reached up under her now and can feel the egg.. And she is like dead weight. NOT getting up, she says.

Anyway, even if she stays for a few nights id still be worried to leave her with my whole hatch.. It'd be my first time and I'm pretty sure hers too.. But I MIGHT give her a few!!

Good point big medicine.  I believe if a  bird is true to type color isn't a big issue but once you have different combs and body type then you just have a barnyard mix bird. 

I do agree that if your bird is good for you, call it what you want and enjoy them.  What bothers me is if they are represented and/or sold as brahma with single combs and weighing in at 3.5 lbs. Like a 40lb minpin or a great dane who is only knee high.  It isn't what is expected.

Being an educated consumer goes a long way when it comes to purchasing and raising any animal.

Agreed. Some of my favorite {and most stunning males} are barnyard mixes. ♡
