Meyers has buff brahmas, but only in bantam and only in straight run.

Oh sorry I am just looking for standerd pullets should I order from My Pet CHicken Instead Because I can get what I want for the same or better price but I have never Orderd From there before?

I'm ordering standard brahmas from Ideal in all 3 color varieties...buff, lt. and dark.
Actually last night I found out I could also get a few silkie chicks from a local breeder in town (for free!) but I'm sticking by my decision to have only one good breed; at least for a year or two.

You could get silkies and the brahmas, you would still have only one GOOD breed.
