More single combed BLB "Brahmas".

You want to lay odds how long before they wise up and list them as super rare buff laced Cochins, or the super ultra rare feather legged buff laced Orpington. Leg color being just a small detail, apparantly kind of like type.

even with me not knowing brahma's, i knew these weren't brahmas, and i will bet that these people aren't that smart to change breeds either

The sad thing is someone will buy them. They will hatch some eggs. The chicks will be even farther from a true "Brahma". They will raise the birds, get some eggs and peddle them as "super rare Buff laced Brahma" eggs. so on and so forth. Its just sad that people refuse to educate themselves BEFORE they blow hard earned money on JUNK. I'm surprised they did not throw in the breeders name where the birds came from 10 generations back.

GO to an ABA/APA sanctioned show, MEET breeders, LEARN what a true "BRAHMA" is. BUY a standard. JOIN the ABC. I'm turning blue in the face and I'm fixin to pass out.LOL

yes, some people are already bidding. i bought some of the blb eggs from a lady that told me they weren't breeding true, which at the time i didn't understand until the eggs hatched, but since i bought them for myself to look at, not planning on selling, doesn't matter what color they are. i just will hatch for myself as egg layers not breeders. i do have to admit, the glb's look pretty good tho, if i wanted to show and try to sell, i would go to the darks and try to find good bloodlines
i'm still trying to learn all i can.

this is the sellers reply


Dear westwood22,

The rooster in the picture does not meet brahma standards I know. It was the only picture I had at time and that bird is no longer here. I will be posting new pictures of my buff-laced brahma rooster on next auction. Thanks for your concern... report away.

I was hoping to put some shows in my calender today.... if not to participate at least to attend as an observer! Noticed many sites dont have thier calanders updated for 2013 yet.... grrrrr Im located in the Finger Lakes/Southern Tier Region of NY.. noticed the APA only had one show anywhere near my location.... There must be others! Right? I hope!

Attended a small local show last fall. I think my commercial quality Brahma Layers were better quality than the two there... Noticed the same in the 4H show at the fair... Im really hoping to change that but of coarse this takes time...

Looking forward to connecting with some fun knowledgeable Brahma lovers this season... even if I have to travel to do so!!

Its the buyers responsibility to educate themselves before they spend the money in my opinion. Ebay may not be the best place to seek out quality Brahmas, just as a general rule. Not really sure we can elevate this to a right and wrong situation? Ignorance VS knowledge might better describe it. Ignorance on the sellers part surely lacks malicious intent. I hope?

I'll shorten my motto....GO, MEET, LEARN, BUY, JOIN!
