I don't remember when mine started to lay sorry.Hello
I started with Buff Brahmas early this summer. They hatched about June 16, 2023. Purchased them from Murray McMurray a flock of about 24 hens and a few roosters. I've had light and dark Brahmas before and really like the breed. And the coloring of the buffs really appealed to me
My pullets are now 24 weeks old. I'm anxiously waiting for them to start laying. The McMurray website says they start at 20 weeks.
I'm wondering what others with this breed have experienced in regards to the age when they begin to lay eggs. I hope some of you remember. I know Brahmas take longer than many other breeds to mature. I'm hoping some of you remember how many weeks that is it thanks
I’d guess in the next month or so. It’s hard to say now that you’re entering winter and short days. Some may wait till Spring and longer days even.Hello

My bantam buff Brahma rooster is very close to SOP and places in the top for his breed/gender in most shows. They need to have a nice square shaped thick skull and a lot of full hackle feathers. Ruby is on the bigger side which is his one key drawback he gets rated down for, but body type and color are really close. Maybe visit a show or two and study their shapes and type to get a good feel for the “look” and get a nice square headed female to breed with as a start?
We love Ruby, he’s a very patient and sweet boy!
