Sparkle is 20 weeks old

I'm so jealous of your adorable chicks speckledhen, I wish I had the space to have more than just the one. I would love to have a whole flock of brahmas, I just love the look and personality of them.

She's a cutie. I wish you did, too! I am really enjoying this group.


Here are the two keeper cockerels, now named, at just over 8 weeks old.

Bruno, big guy.



And Bash (Sebastian, for those fans of the TV series "Reign")

How have your hatch rates been on your male to female ratio?

Hi! The rate has been about 50/50.

That sounds right. I have been getting all roosters with just one hen in my last few hatches. Very unlucky and has me a bit shy from hatching eggs..

I completely understand. I am overrun with roos rt now but that's because no one is allowed to have them where I live, so I sell all my pullets & am stuck with roos.

I know people will tell you they aren't worth butchering but my extras gave plenty of meat. They are a bit of a handful once they come of age but then I dont feel bad about butchering haha
