OK, I guess I assumed you were in N.C. anyway Tennessee is in her district as well. She will point you in the right direction. Don't forget to join the Brahma club!

Hi,

New to the breed and am looking for light brahma hatching eggs to NO avail. I guess they are not the fad of the moment so eggs are not so plentiful.

Ive been told that they are not very good egg producers so I was thinking of getting another better laying breed to compliment them. Any suggestions?

Please feel free to send me to someone who has eggs now. I'm ready to buy.

Any brahma breeders in Tucson Arizona?

I am looking forward to getting the Dark Brahmas from Wil Hanley I will post pictures once I get them here. Now if I can find another color or two my Brahma goal will be complete.

Ok the guy i got my chicks from said he crossed a buff brahma roo with a dark + light brahma cross. Which hatched sex linked red brahmas. Is that right?

Bigmedicine should know the answer to that.

So if I'm reading this right, the female side is a dark/light cross, or a combination of both darks and lights. Either way, crossed to a buff male will produced gold based pullets, and split silver/gold cockerels (which will more strongly favor the silver).

I don't know if I would call them red, likely a much lighter shade, but still gold based.

I have 2 that are silver and black he claimed were males and 11 that look exactly like buff brahmas. These are my first chicks.

I believe we got the same pullets.
