8 months to egg laying maturity but the wait is worth the effort, took some coaxing with full spectrum grow lights on a timer at 3am & blending the feed gradually with layer feed, about 3 weeks later they laid their first eggs and have been on a steady path of 4 eggs a day from 9 hens ... great personality, friendly & petable :) not fazed by cold at all & their beautiful ornate feathers came in well thanks to a custom Non-GMO feed from the king of North Florida Chicken's, Mr.Charlie from Charlie's Chick's.

These girl's were a 2 year project in the making and my first go at raising Hens, I built the run to be predator proof top to bottom.

I researched all the breeds & knew Brahma's were for me, looking forward to the next 2 runs as I would like to have light & buff brahma's next.

That's a lovely set-up! 🩷 How will the girls get into the nesting area if the door is closed? (I'm confused because I don't see a latch, etc.) And where will they roost? You might want to place a short barrier across the front of the nest boxes to keep the nest bedding (and eggs!) from falling out.

But what a great coop/run!
