Black, gold, or white Brahmas (and other colors)

[nissa_loves_cats]

I know that in the US the three standard colors of Brahmas are Light, Dark and Buff. I'm wondering what other colors they come in, in particular which other colors are available in the US. (Pictures of these other varieties would be cool.)

And is anyone working on lavender Brahmas?

Ive heard of Partridge Brahmas, and Black Brahmas.

Over at the-coop there is a topic about silver laced brahmas. A breeder created silver laced brahmas here in the US, they also have some gold laced and are working on blue laced red. The guy that created buff laced is also there talking about his project.

There are lots of colours of Brahma.

There are tons of colors over in Holland. One color that would be cool to see is a solid red brahma or maybe barred.

You can see a thread here where someone developed Silver-laced Brahmas.

there's a guy here in Nebraska working on blacks, reds, and red columbian.

To develop these other colors, they do crossbreeding with other breeds that have the color they like, and then cull to get back the original Brahma type but with the desired color? Sounds like a major project.

But then, I've just bought a bunch of laying hens including some with pretty colors, which are going to be bred to my Buff Brahma roosters, perhaps I'll end up with something to work with. (Most are going to be sold as meat birds, I have a lot of Polish and Serbian folk who buy live chickens from me.)
