hi from Alaska

Hi everyone. I am getting back into chickens after a long time. I got a mixture of Brahma chicks. How long before they start laying

Hello fellow Alaskan!

Most chickens lay around 20 weeks (or 5 months) but brahmas may lay later than that as they are not a laying breed.

Around 22 weeks I'd say. Once their comb goes big and turns red, and they begin squatting, they should begin laying soon


Best of luck! I love brahmas, haha

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Congratulations on your new chicks! Brahma are usually pretty slow maturing, you might want to check out the reviews and the Brahma thread for other people with them. https://www.backyardchickens.com/products/brahma/reviews and https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/169790/brahma-thread

Congrats on the new birds! I don't keep Brahmas, but they sure are pretty birds.

Enjoy your new flock and welcome to ours!

Welcome to BYC - as others have stated, Brahmas are generally slow to mature, but their egg laying longevity is greater than many other breeds.
