Black Partridge Brahma??

[Uzair Ahmed]

I couldn't find any thread regarding the black partridge brahmas. Do they even exist? I mean does anyone have em? I've seen Black brahmas but never get to see any black partridge brahma. I'm confused with em. I have a picture of one of Black Partridge Brahma roo. have a look at it and those who have this breed kindly share some experience and pictures with us.

In my experience with brahmas - my first and favorite breed - your rooster is not a partridge brahma, he is a dark brahma like my Thor shown here:



The yellowing of the white in your brahma's hackle and saddle feathers usually comes from exposure to sunlight.

I don't know where you live, but in the US there are still only three colors commonly seen - the lights, darks and buffs.

Thor is beauty
No, this isn't because of sunlight. His hackle and saddle feathers are yellowish.
Okay let me post another another picture of another pair of Black Partridge Brahma.

As you can see, they're nowhere close to Dark Brahma :s

Here are some pics that can help you, showing brahma colors more commonly available than the colors here in the States. Partridge brahmas look quite different.

Yep.. partridge brahmas are totally different from those of which I posted the pictures of. Then what are they? :\ should I buy them?

In my humble opinion, the ones you have posted pics of in your second post are mixes of brahma colors...perhaps dark over buff.

I think dark over black brahma. Well, if it's comb came out to be a perfect pea comb and it gets close to standard brahmas size, I'll buy it.

See, you must be in a country other than the US. Again, here in the US there are only three colors that are commonly seen - lights, darks (like my Thor) and buffs. There ARE other colors available, but those three are the most common.
If it were me and I wanted to be sure and get the prominent personality and size of a standard (large fowl) brahma, I would pass those by in favor of a sure enough brahma, in whichever color I could find. My oldest brahmas are nearly seven years old now and my darks are still the best looking, still laying eggs too.

Hi! I know this thread is a couple of months old but I am looking for Black Brahma (LF) & wanted to know if there was anyone who had some eggs for sale or knew someone who does. Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong area. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Are you looking for true blacks or darks?

There are a couple of sections that might be of help to you:
