Brahma Thread

[want brahmas 2]

My broody barred rock hatched 2 fertilized eggs I placed under her about 5 months ago.
Attached a pict showing the 2 chickens(now about 5 months old). I'm assuming
they are Brahmas, of some variety..... I'm not all that familiar w the breed. Can anyone tell
if the white one looks like it's on it' s way to being a rooster?? It does not crow, has laid no
eggs (neither has the brown one).... and the other day I noticed it was trying to mount one of
the barred rocks. It's also very skittish and a nervous nelly. Thanks.

the first one is a light brahma cockeral 100% sure and the second one is a hen looks like a buff brahma cross with something else not sure what but is def.. a hen good luck")

This guy is still a youngster of approximately 7 months old, hasn't started crowing yet, but is pretty big already. Lots of fluff, lots of foot feathering.

what color is he?

 

[Sjisty]

He's a blue partridge.

Made some very hard decisions

I'm going to get out of the chicken "business". A few other reasons, but mainly my health. I just can't do the things I like to do anymore it seems. Of course I'll still have chickens in the backyard, but the breeding is going to have to be put on the back burner. I will be selling everything...

incubators, coops, birds etc. Birds will be auctioned or sold privately, everything else... I'll probably put a craigslist ad together.


It's been so much fun with all of you guys!


I'll be selling my blue and gold partridge flocks as well. I'll be posting auctions on[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] BYC and rare breeds. I have 2 gorgeous blue boys that can be paired with 2-3 gold hens and blue hens paired with gold partridge boys. I'll also be selling the parent stock for all the younger 7-8 month olds[/FONT]

I keep telling DH ... "well I heard its ALWAYs best to have the backup roos" RIGHT????
