Backyard Brahmas!!

Sorry, I didn't get my response in above post...
@Uzair Ahmed First, your birds are lovely!!
2nd, Don't think about it as not having Brahmas, but rather that you have a Brahma breeding project. Breeders are always mixing things in to get a better combo of traits that more closely match the "Standard of Perfection". When they do that they are thinking out a couple generations.
The most important aspect of what a breed is, is the size and shape. I think people said you have that. You can check it by measuring - 28" height and at least 12 pounds at full grown. I didn't catch how big from beak to tail.
If you want to get even closer to perfect, start with the getting the comb to be a pea comb instead of a rose comb. I have no idea how to do that but others can help, I'm sure.
You really do have beautiful birds - are the second batch frizzled or was it just windy?

Can you post a picture of a Pea combed brahma? I just want to know how it looks like.
Cz' my brahma's comb is more like a Rose Comb, which I thought is a Pea comb. =/

Here are all the combs:

Too bad they didn't also list the breed of chicken posing the combs.

Do you know how to search the forums? I just found a good thread called "Comb Genetics".
It is a lot to take in at first but then they start talking specific breeds and what happens when you cross stuff in.
Maybe your rose combs came from Rhode Island Reds since you have such lovely reds and coppers.
You could also ask the specific question on the Brahma breeder forum about what they recommend you cross with to get pea combs.
Or you could just call your flock Backyard Brahmas and be happy with what you have, because they are beautiful.
I think the Brahma Breeder thread only recognizes Light, Dark and Buff and they don't like brassy colors, either. So picky they are.

That really helped a lot QueenBubbles Thank you.
I'll post some new pictures of my brahma's comb. And now i'm guessing that he's got a Pea Comb not Rose Comb. You made my day

I'm so very happy

That's bad. All this time I was thinking that I've got a Brahma. So, my Brahma is not a "Brahma"? #Bumperrcar

He could be a cross, it´s because of his comb. His build is quite Brahma.

Yeah. Combs can be tricky. With pea combs, people are even particular about the size and height of the pea comb. I've seen birds I thought were gorgeous representations of the brahma breed. Only to be corrected by the more knowledgeable in that the bird's pea comb was too high, short, crooked,, etc.
My little bantam roo has the neatest comb I've ever seen. It's 3 rows due to his buff brahma father. But the rows are high perfect straight comb rows from his d'uccles mother. The combination of pea and single combs gave him a triple straight comb.

Yes. Maybe he's a cross, because I've seen it's father Buff Brahma, and it's height was not even close to 28" and it's comb was like 'A BIG ROSE COMB'. I'll post his pictures as well.

Ahan. But it's height is good enough and obviously it's getting heavy every day. So, What should I do to get pure pea comb chicks from this male? any suggestions? Is it even possible???
