Brahmas

[chaseschicks]

I have some light and Buff Brahmas I Don't know much about this breed. Does anyone know anything at all at these.




I have 4 pullets and two cockerals

How Big do they get?

 

[brahmabreeder]

They get HUGE. In fact they are the second heaviest breed of chicken. The roosters weigh roughly 12LBS. give or take. The breeder I got my hens from said hens should weigh 7 to 8 pounds. Personally I would like mine to weigh 8 to 9 pounds. Out of the three brahma colors the lights weigh the most then the buffs. These birds are definitely gentle giants. I love my brahmas. Brahmas can take up to two years to fully mature. Roosters are not aggressive toward humans. Watch out for scaly leg mites. I think because they have feathered shanks they get them easier. Brahmas only lay about 3 or four eggs a week. This is the breed I have decided to specialize in as of last year. Personally I think you should enjoy the breed.

 

[brahmas]

I have found Brahmas to be on eof if not the best breed out there for grdens as they cant scratch up the ground well. I live in england and ahve found that my ladies lay around 4-6 eggs every week and the cockerels dont crow overly lound. and they look fantastic aswell.

am looking for some blue colobian brahmas hens possible a quadret
