Our original flock had two buff brahmas (we still have one of them). They are beautiful birds, and very gentle. Sadly, the one that died was me & Hubs favorite. She was a real sweetie. Congrats on the very pretty additions to your flock.Recently we got two Brahma chickens to add to our flock.
We got one Silver Blue Brahma and one Blue Light Brahma. They’re really cute and they get on really well with the other five hybrids!
Your Brahma looks so cute!Oh, how I loved my Brahma. Her name was Tank and she is the sweetest, most gentle soul ever!! I had to rehome my chickens back in August, and her new owner is just as captivated by her as I was! Actually I had Light Brahmas and Buff Brahmas, but most of them went into the freezer as planned. Tank, well, she stayed. She was just Tank!
I raised my chicks outdoors in a wire pen in the run...I used a portal door system on my brooder pen....just little doors fit into the wire of the brooder, and without fail when I'd open up the portal doors to let the Littles out at about 3 weeks of age, she was the first to welcome them to the group, every batch of chicks, every time.
If I could give you any heads-up, there'd be just one....they are BIG bodied so try to have nest boxes big enough to accommodate them and try to gather eggs often. <sigh> I can't tell you how many times I went out there too late, and Tank had already managed to squish the eggs the other girls laid just before she got in there. My boxes were just a hair too small for her so she had to do a lot of wiggling around to get comfortable.
Enjoy them! Yours are beautiful!!
