I got a bunch of extra light brahmas from MMH last year, and boy, their coloring was all over the board as chicks. As adults they had too much black, but they were still LBs and still very pretty.
Chicks hatched from the same pair of adults:
MMH chicks at about 12 weeks...
See what I mean about too much black?
