Really Excited that my New Partridge Brahma Roo who just attended the APA National in Shawnee, OK is now in Florida. THANK YOU DEE MEJESTRIK for this boy and to Susan Nicolas for putting me in touch with her! Also HUGE thanks to Danny and Norma Padgett for picking him up for me. I have three hens anxiously awaiting his arrival and hope to have some partridge and dark brahmas in Large Fowl come spring.

Hi Brahma fans,

We are just getting into light brahmas. So my question would be WHY are they so hard to find???? They don't seem very popular for the overall chicken population. Why is that?

I can't wait to get my chicks and start our flock of Brahma's. I am going to have to order from a hatchery I think. I cannot find any breeders in Northern California.

Personally I'd wait, search, and make the payment for hatching eggs. Hatchery Brahmas are really, really different from good quality ones.

I think the reason they're rare is because of the whole "slow growth" thing, (which most people don't realize does NOT affect egg production) and even the people who tolerate the slow growth are too busy trying to revive their Rocks, Reds, Orpingtons, and Wyandottes. . . . Maybe it's the feathered legs, or maybe Cochins are cuter, or maybe it is the lack of accepted colors, who knows.
