Brahma Thread

[kowgurl62]

Any chance someone could post pics of show quality buff bantams,I'm going to add these to my flock and I would like to see the lacing and so forth so as to make sure I get the best I can find. Thanks

If I were you, I'd look at Tim63's photos,,,,you'll find plenty there.

This is a hen by Eric Moore at the 2009 Brahma National at Shawnee, Oklahoma. Look at the head!

This is a cockerel(thats right, a cockerel!) by Spence/Williams at the 2009 ABC national. Just a couple of examples of excellent heads. Or to use a phrase coined by Chad and Greg "STUPID headed".

I think the head on myBBB is smaller than that. How critical is this?

Well, I just assessed my brahma hens and they sre hatchery quality and no more. Bummer. The largest one only weighed 7.5, 2 lbs. Under standard. 3 of them weigh about 6 lbs. Too small for large fowl andtoo big for bantam. Oh well. They'll just become part of our egg layers. I wont be investing in a rooster for them. Id rather start with good quality stock if Im going to breed them, and it would take YEARS to increase their size and mass.

A wide head is a hallmark of proper Brahma type. These two birds are examples of heads to work toward.

Tim, have you ever seen a Brahma with a Comb Sprig? I have not but most other breeds have them show up on a regular basis.
