I am still fighting with this computer to upload new pics.

Bear with me and I will post more of these guys/gals soon

Since everyone is showing off their Brahma babies, I want to share mine too! What do you think?

WOW - Floridamama Kermit looks awesome. So happy he has his girls back. Good luck hatching! Carolyn - looks like a pullet to me. Very adorable. I have 6 that are a few days old and a Dark Hen setting on about 15 eggs...Thinking of ordering 25 (Partridge and Black) from Mr. Rennot (sp?) looking forward to that!

Thanks Matt. She is my only partridge and very sweet. I'm hoping all 3 are girls actually! I am very intrigued by the thought of Black Brahma? Look forward to hearing more about that!

Any opinions on McMurray Light Brahmas? Got some from them and they have too much black where there should be white, in general they look muddy, the chicks were a dark color, I noticed that breeders have yellow chicks, also I noticed that Cackle Hatchery has yellow chicks, anyone know about their quality in the LB? I am wanting them for eggs, meat and something pretty to look at. People have told me that breeder chickens are not bred for egg laying, hatchery chickens lay better. Any suggestions? The girls I have lay good and taste good but not what I want to look at.

Is that my beautiful Kermit? He looks wonderful! He has some cousins growing up right now, at least one of which is going to be huge, too.

I'm lucky enough, to own 2 of Sjisty's Brahma boys. Very beautiful, BIG, sweet roos.

Casey.....

And Gomer with one of his partridge hens, from Sableboi's stock.....

Also, looking forward to my Partridge eggs, from Dee Mejstrik to hatch. 1 more week to go!!

I love seeing pictures of my beautiful boys! I have some more beauties growing up plus 40-ish eggs in the incubators including gold laced, buff laced, and blue laced red (or is it red laced blue) Brahmas, plus 5 eggs from Frack, the queen of our house. She's a dark Brahma and her chicks are fathered by Casey, so no telling what they are going to look like!

Here is one of Casey's sons. He is huge already and still has a lot of growing to do!

Just for a lark, I incubated one of Patches' eggs, who is a gold laced Cochin. Casey is the daddy of this one, too. The markings are beautiful!

@ Melanie - coco is a cool bird, but the coloring is not correct for a Dark Brahma. The roo's are very similar to roo's in any of the silver laced birds and even as they mature tend to show more white than the bird pictured. Not saying that may not change, but I have had lots of Dark boys and nothing colored that heavily in black. Maybe a cross?
