Dixie Chicks

[bamadude]

Brahmas are chill, but Orpington's are chiller yet... What are the Brahma Roos like in general... I only have hens but one of these chicks looks like it's probably a brahma cross roo...

well we had 2 brahma cockerals that we sold for $20 each. 1 weighed 11lbs. 1 weighed 10lbs. They are aggressive. They chase children. And they are big. And their feathered feet make them seem bigger.
They eat alot of feed too. Ours tend to stay close to their feeder. They seem too lazy and skiddish to free range imho. Also they are dumb as a brick

Good size meat bird though!

They bite when I try and snatch eggs out from under them... Of course... But I have a few mixed breed hens that don't, they'll let me flip them right off the eggs without a fight... I like that trait

the brahma girls are cool...u can carry them around. The boys were almost mean
