This light Brahma I posted...I got her from person that ordered chicks and she was only one in that "batch.". I'm wondering if she is more of bantam than big stock. Any opinions????? The picture above.

My new pair of Light Brahmas...Gentle and love to be held...... got them from beggarticks farm.

What color are these guys? They were all supposed to be darks but I'm thinking one of the lights might have slipped in there. These are from a breeder that has lights, darks, and buffs. Thanks!!

Probably a good guess. Never seen a dark have white feathering like the one on the right even at that young age. The other seems to just be a dark.

Any idea what a light/dark cross looks like?

Never tried it, so not sure. Sorry. I'd imagine you would get either a lot of white leakage, or a primarily light colored bird with a lot of penciled feathers (as you see in poor colored females as is).

There's only 2 out of the 8 that the long ear lobs. This COCKEREL (I hope) has the longest of the 2. Again, beyond most peoples dismay, these are only hatchery Lights. And yet again, I will be getting breeder birds next year. Just spent to much on 25 Heritage Delawares and 10 HRIR's this year. I just seen every bodies LB's and love them. Just had to get a few, no matter what they were.

It is a pullet. There are NO hackle/saddle feathers. Male Lights have saddle feathers with black striping.

We shall find out what th look like Hopefully they will be breed quality if their body structure and temperament are what I'm looking for.
