Can hatchery brahma get bigger after generations?

[missiguy]

I have hatchery brahma (unfortunately I didn't know that they were smaller than from a breeder and they were given to me), but I also have their offspring that I incubated and hatched. After many generations, can my chicks actually start to grow bigger and fuller than the generation before them or do I need to buy more from a breeder to get bigger chickens? I don't eat them, I just enjoy having them and having eggs. I do have a few jerseys that I am hoping to get brahma x jersey babies from in the spring. I have a few other breeds, but I love my brahmas the most

If you have filler birds that are bigger, breed them together and selectively breed and you'll get good results. But you have to not be afraid.to cull rejects

Yes. You can select any bird to be bigger, though if you want show quality stock, obviously buying from a breeder is the ideal choice.
