Her tail is off, vulture hocks, crows head,and it appears their is a lot of brassiness in her color...the dark Santa's are definately going to take dedication.

What's crows head?

Too narrow. Brahmas are supposed to have a very broad head.

Thanks!!! So, she isn't the greatest, but she sure is the best mom!!! I had an 8 week old d'anver come to the coop, and Helen thought it was her job to keep her warm and protected. Same with a year-old OEGB....

I would buy the best light ROO I could afford and put her over them and start there if u are really into the dark bantams...

I know what you mean. My dark Brahma also isn't show quality, but she's my favorite of the bunch and probably the biggest reason everybody thinks I'm "That crazy chicken lady"!

I hate looking at this thread I get so jealous every time wishing I had a large farm yard instead of a suburban back yard. can't have them all.

They are not far off my girls age wise.... The head is little narrow, shanks are not as featherd out as I would like, but they are young. Color looks good, but the lacing fades towards the back. Lacking a little in type, but again, they are young. Ihow much do you think they weigh?
