Chocolate Orps.

Oh yeah sorry I wasn’t sure if you were asking about my girls or someone else’s. They are big girls English chocolate Orpingtons about 8 pounds each. And so round they look like beach balls. lol and very, very sweet. Well, except for Hattie I call her my murder chicken. She doesn’t like to be pet, but she is awesome at catching and killing rodents and things lol

He is very handsome. Love his coloring!

Me too! Mom was a Rhodie, and dad was a Brahma, so he's got this two-tone thing going... Along with the triple row of the Rose comb, with the height of a single comb... He's such a cool mix.

Brahmas add so much beauty & intelligence to any backyard mix.

Brahmas add so much beauty & intelligence to any backyard mix.

I totally agree! And an easy-going nature that is amazing for flock dynamics. Noli is lowest in our rooster pecking order, not because he has to be, but because he's doesn't care about his position. All our brahmas have had a truly wonderful temperament. Even with a dominant Rhodie mom, this mix comes out of rooberty sweet, snuggly, and mellow.

(Rooberty is still rough though. No changing that )
