Aloha lovers of Brahma's and all things chicken! Great photos, beautiful backdrop @Lawrence Lovestock . I have family on your island in Mililani, Kaneohe and Honolulu (think I got you surrounded!) DH is there now visiting.
@Jandsloch That is a absolutely beautiful Brahma roo!!! I love him, brain or no brain !!!!

My light Brahmas have to be my favorite so far. I love their size, looks, docile personalities and they are pretty easy keepers for me. I live in a warm humid climate where they do stress a little in the summers but no more than my other breeds. Good consistent layers, they have given me no health issues, are easy to break of broodiness, basic easy keepers and a general crack up.

Eva and Zsa Zsa

Precillia and Eva on inspection duty with the Orps- Hillary, Blossom and Daisy

Looking forward to more photos and input on this newly revived thread. Stay well gang!!!

Noooo! he must be as dumb as a box of rocks for you to make fun of such a handsome boy. I ended up with a brahma roo with my first batch of chickens a few years back. He was the coolest guy but i was under pressure to get rid of him. I had a hostile neighbor at the time who was a jerk on a good day. I did not want to risk anymore friction between us so I gave him away. I think I will always regret that. And certainly seeing your guy makes me regret it double.... or triple. I don't think Elvis would have gotten THAT big.

Elvis and Priscillia @ about 4-5 mo old. They had just started to grow into the Brahma look.

I have light brahmas, & thought including such a large chicken breed would be a great addition to our flock.

he will get on top rooster every night and then in the morning can’t ever figure out how to get down....pacing back and forth until I rescue his fat butt lmao the top roost is a foot higher and a foot back from the next one down but about arm length away from me...so every morning here’s me reaching as far as I can to get this big boy down! Then he started getting it....for about a month....then back to not getting down agai haha my husband bult what we call a handicap ramp for him....just him lmbo he chases girls and lands right into the top roo ( who is less than half his size) literally right into him every day then panics and flails around like he’s going to get a beat down all the while the other roo just stares at him hahaha he can be smart if he chooses but definately clumsy. But we most def love him. Got him from a breeder so he’s not hatchery. Not sure how big he will get honestly. To my understanding they take 2-3 years to fully grow he is 9 mo old right now.

Oh my... I love him even more now. He sounds like a total crack up. Only 9 months... Wow. Amazing. I'd love to get the breeders #... maybe he would be willing to ship to me???!!!

My crummy neighbor moved and I think the Brahma crow is far better than any other I have heard so far. I'd love a sweet giant. How is her with the girls? Elvis was pretty bad till i sent him off to boot camp. That is a story in itself.
Gus is an outstanding roo and I think that may be due to his Brahma genes.

Here’s Pimp, our only remaining Brahma hen! We did have 4 of these beauties but they were worse broodies than my silkies so we sold them on. Pimp is the only to never go broody hence why we kept her, she was the smallest though.
