That's okay I still really like her. The last picture she was standing funny, her neck and tail are normally straight

I think I will take her outside on a harness today to forage around, I don't think she has ever been on grass.

A harness! Where do you get a chicken leash? I want to be able to let my chickens out in the front without fear of not being able to catch them again.

well the step in dog harnesses work good, but I had to improvise with a leash tied up like a harness because I couldn't find one I had. I need to go buy her one. You can just use a long thin dog leash too.

This topic makes me want to work with brahmas again. Way back when I started with one brahma hen and ordered some chicks, only 1 survived and it was a hen. I crossed them with a partridge rock rooster and kept the pullets from that but gave them to a friend who crossed them with a dark cornish x cochin cross. The offspring from that were awesome. I am still waiting to see barred, a crisp barred brahma would stop anyone dead in their tracks and I know it is possible to do if someone set their mind to it. Dark red would be nice too, maybe cross a buckeye to a buff brahma and go from there. My favorite would be dun, then dunlaced, dun pencilled, dun partridge, dun barred, dun crele, and so on, I can only dream for now.

Someday I will work with brahmas, some day.

hows that for a barred brahma

heres my newest acquisitions a pair of Light Brahmas that are about 10 weeks old





as you can see the hen is so far all white, im hoping she will stay that way and that she produces a white son so that i can start a white Brahma line... how cool would pure white brahmas be

hi.
its impossible to tell just by looking at the top of their heads. can u post better pics? what colour were u told they were when u bought them?

 

[CarolinaHen]

I purchased them as being Darks. Guess I'm just hoping the lighter ones may actually turn out partridge

They could still all be darks. My hatchery ones (10 supposed pullets) looked like that, some dark, some light but are all turning out to be samish a few weeks down the road. Getting some red in the comb area of my "pullets". That would be nice, I want some boys.

ya, id definitely go with darks or as theyre called over here "silver"
