Brahma Thread

[Tailfeathers]

Hi Y'all,

I raise, breed and show WBS Ameraucanas, Barnevelders, Buckeyes, and Welsummers. This year I have decided to replace all the hatchery/feedstore birds I keep for eggs while my others are in the breeding pens with SQ stock. Here are the breeds that I’m looking for now and plan to get:

1) Barred Rocks (BR)
2) Black Jersey Giants (BJG)
3) Buff Brahmas (BB)
4) Black, Blue, and/or Buff Orpingtons (BO)
5) Golden-Laced Wyandottes (GLW)
6) Silver-Laced Wyandottes (SLW)
7) Blue-Laced Red Wyandottes (BLRW)
8) New Hampshire Reds (NHR)
9) Rhode Island Reds (RIR)

I think that’s it but with chickens I just never know. If I see something that catches my eye, I may just have to get some. For example, I recently heard that someone in the USA has some BLR Barnevelders. If I see them, I’ll probably have to get some!

Anyways, I would appreciate hearing from any of you BB breeders who would sell me some hatching eggs from good SQ stock. Please send me an email as I likely won't see a reply here.

God Bless,

What a lovely couple!

I think this is one of the prettiest of the Brahma varieties.

very pretty dak, just a question is her head a little small for a brahma? it looks almost too dainty to me or is it just her age she doesn't seem to have the viscous raptor look to her if ya know what I mean. probably just me lol but they are beauties .

They are only four months old. The heads will develop more.

Afternoon everyone

My first taste of showbirds were three gold brahma pullets I bought at a small show

Unfortunately they were either stolen or eaten whilst I was on vacation over Christmas, either way they weren't in my garden when I came back. After their loss I was pretty gutted, and even thought of giving up chicken keeping for good... for about a week - then I pulled myself together and started hatching plans.

I now have 10 black brahma eggs arriving next week, and some gold brahma eggs arriving at the end of Feb beginning of March.

I really hope to show this year... of course it depens on if, and how my eggs turn out!
