Brahmas

[genny1965]

Welcome to BYC. Are your birds from production (hatchery) lines or exhibition (breeder) lines? This can influence maturity rates

Yes, order them from cackle hatchery in M0. And had them shipped to me here in Texas.

Beautiful birds! Not sure when they will start laying. I think mine was about 7 months old.

Brahma are a slower maturing breed, but my hatchery Brahmas started laying around 24/ 26 weeks..... the exhibition bred birds mature more slowly

They say the eggs are better without a rooster? True or false?

Oh my, your birds are beautiful. Do you have children and if so are they ok with the kids.

Rooster has no impact on the flavor of the eggs. You don't need a roo if you don't want one, but a good roo will watch after the girls and take good care of them.
