I have a 2 wk old brahma (mix?) take a look and let me know what you think.

here is a close up of the comb, what kind of comb is this? Is it the correct kind for a brahma?

@big medicine How did you get the black heads on your laced? I really like that look...........

I suspect the dark necks are a result of their Cornish ancestry, and my giving it preference when selecting my breeders. It was when I started the blue laced red project a few years back that it really caught my eye. Before that I had a few gold laced that had dark necks that I had kept mainly because they were of superior type. Once I saw the dark neck feature in blue I thought it really popped, and started breeding for it. One of the perks of starting your own variety I guess.

As to your other question, dark Brahmas would be silver based, Partridge or gold partridge, would both be gold based, having a copy, or two, of blue would not change that.

Does anyone know if two Brahma roosters will fight? I have a gold partridge rooster, and I'm very keen on getting a lemon pyle rooster.

Any roosters will fight, just depends on the situation. I've had luck with young ones raised together, as well as a young raised with an existing "alpha" rooster.

As for introducing two mature cocks, I'm not sure that would ever work dependably.

Thanks for the info.

Hello. Moving here from the Brahma thread after I learned that my birds did not qualify as brahmas because their legs are the wrong color and a couple have straighter combs than is "necessary". I feel like I'm in limbo because they say they aren't brahmas and the breeder says they're crazy. I don't care, they're beautiful birds and that's all that matters to me.

Wow what beautiful pictures!

Howdy. I'm new to Brahmas, but fell in love with them when my husband brought 8 home as an early Easter gift this year. I've been pining for chickens.

The pic below is of my little flock examining the first toad they'd ever seen. I have no clue about any show requirements, mine were Tractor Supply chicks, lol!
