Brahma Thread

That looks about right. The clean buff pullets would be out of the light hens. The buff pullets with all the extra black, out of the dark hens.

The more "whiteish" males would likely be out of the light hens. Not sure how much of the black breast of a dark male would show in the cockerels out of the dark hens crossed to a columbian male, but would think they would be somewhat more pigmented than a standard columbian.

Just perusing through the new issue of Poultry Press. Brahmas well represented in recent shows. Large Lights from both of the better known northern breeders did very well.

Nice to see a large light hen take Reserve Champion Large fowl, and Champion Asiatic, and a large dark hen take Reserve Asiatic at the Tennessee Valley Show.

A buff pullet was placed Reserved Grand Champion Bantam at the Cape Fear Show, again by a well known breeder that has been mentioned is these threads.

And probably more when I get to read it through, but this is what photos drew my eye.



Just a reminder to some of the new folks who think that good quality Brahmas are nearly impossible to find. It may take a little time and investment in the hobby, but the birds are out there. Join the breed club, (see the bottom of any of Tim's posts). Subscribe to The Poultry Press. See who are winning shows, what show winning birds look like, often how to contact these breeders, when and where upcoming shows and swaps will happen. Go to the shows, look, learn, and impress on these guy's and gal's, how serious you are about learning and getting started with quality birds. If not that day, lay the foundation for getting birds in the future as they may become available. There is not always a quick fix that we seem to expect these days.

Wouldn't have been in there yet but a Light Brahma won Champion Large Fowl and Best of Show in Stockton at the Pacific Poultry Breeder's Association show (over 2500 birds), it was bred and shown by Alan Feagley (spelling?)

I am also looking for LF Brahmas in MO, TN, KY, IN, IL. But I too want Show Quality birds.

I'm having the hardest time finding any good brahmas.

This is how I am feeling too

Pft if they think Brahmas are impossible to find then try finding Naked Necks!! I'm not talking about hatchery ones, I mean SQ ones. Red is about the only color I can find.

Speaking of naked necks I used to have some Madagascar gamefowl. Oh and good brahmas are hard to find at least for me anyways

I suspect part of that may be that most of the people who have naked necks are probably too embarrassed to admit they have them, at least to speak about it in public anyway.
