Show Quality Light brahma

[MonkeyZero]

Well I am buying 1 LB hen from a guy who says its SQ. Whats that supposed to mean??? Any pics of SQ vs Regular quality?

You don't want to see black anywhere but the hackles, tail, and a little bit in the wings.

Here's a sq buff brahma, a light brahma would be the same, but instead of the buff, it would be white.

HOW CUTE!!!
HMMM I wonder if he's telling the truth, cause he says he won first prize with her, and shes 5 months old. IS there any Special care involved with SQ's

She's only 5 months old? That sounds odd, especially since it takes that large breed so long to show, usually they aren't shown until they're at least 8 months old.

Are you planning on showing and thus keeping her in show condition? They're feather legged so they shouldn't free range, plus their color will be tainted by the sun if they free range. Normally, if you show brahmas they have large indoor pens with shavings for the floor to help their foot feathers.

Oh no, he got her mixed up. Shes a year old. VERY LARGE AND HEAVY, and somewhat mean to the other lil ones, but its pecking order, lol

Plus she has her wings clipped, as I wont show her(Im 2 dumb!!!). But she cant fly, and is about 8-10 lbs. YAY...

Her feathers on her wings will grow back when she molts and she won't need her wings clipped because she won't be able to fly anyway.

If you wanted them t ocome back in sooner than the next molt, pull them.

Brahmas are a heavy breed so you don't need to clip their wings.
