That's what I spent on my 4 this post spring!

Brahmas are *okay* layers, but they are BIG birds who take a while to mature. I have a buff who isn't laying yet, but she's already way bigger than my others! Super sweet girl, though. And so pretty! I'm sure you will enjoy them.

I've always wanted them because of how big and pretty they are! I've heard they are really sweet as well! $50 is worth it!

I will! Hopefully my broody will adopt them!

It's best to give the chicks to her at night or when it's dark so the hen can't see you.

I'll do that! I hope she's a good mom, kinda worries me because she isn't really a mean broody, she'll fluff up at me but i don't get bit or pecked at.

How long has she been broody? Do any of the eggs have development?

She's been broody for a week, i checked the eggs this evening and they both have veining and i can see the embryo, I'm just not 100% sure about them, they look a lot different than my first hatch that i incubated. Its like one side has the development and the other side is clear? If that makes sense. The eggs i incubated a few months ago had veining throughout the whole egg.

When you ordered your chicks, it gives you a hatch/ship date. What was it?
If you get your chicks before the eggs can hatch the hen may abandon her nest of eggs to care to the chicks.

It didn't show in my order conformation email, i may have overlooked it though, let me check again.

It doesn't say, it says to allow 10 business days for them to find a hatch/ship date that will accommodate and be available for all the chicks in my order.
