i wonder if a brahma hen could hatch a lot of eggs maybe like 15 or so?? lol they are so huge and feathery.

probably My bantam hatched 4 large eggs and it was a very small bantam as long as they fit under the feathers

I know this is more than possible. I had a very small blue splash cochin bantam/sliver americana cross (she was very small even for these) hatch out , (I kid you not) 20 eggs in secret! I thought she got carried off, but she showed up in a horse stall with 20 chicks and the chicks were mostly standard sized breeds. I would have never thought it even possible for a bantam of this size to fit that many eggs under her. I wish I could find the pictures of her with these babies. If I do I'll put them up for you to see, but they might be in our storage place, and that's very scary thought!

Anyway, I've stuffed a lot of eggs under a broody hen before and I seems to work good as long they fit under her feathers, just like tuesday chicks said. Good luck with this!

FYI, I have placed a doz of my bantam Buff eggs for auction if anyone might be interested. Sorry if this is inappropriate. I know some were interested.

This is my buff brahma roo, Chuck Norris. Below is one of my light brahma hens. What colors will I get from crossing the buff and light brahmas? I have a broody barred rock that is hatching some eggs..some (or most) are from my brahmas. One chick hatched today, I could see feathered legs, kind of a yellowish, tan body with a dark spot on his/her head. I'm still waiting for the other eggs to hatch so I haven't gotten a good look at the chick yet.

You'll get sex-linked offspring.

Buff hens, yellowish, red shouldered males.
