That's kick the toboggans butt

I'm new to the Brahmas I've had one for maybe six months and the rest I just got a couple days ago... Hennible (my first Brahma) was broody and did a great job until she ate her babies... I always come by chickens in a strange manner there given to me for free because other people don't want them...
Bama and Alaskan know there Brahmas...

 

[chickwhispers]

V looks like a sweet ride too!

 

[chickwhispers]

Have to get some more work done. And go take care of outdoor stuff. Before it gets colder.
Vehve I'll just say goodnight

since you will undoubtedly be asleep before I get done and back.

 

[vehve]

Chickwhispers, hope you get a lot done.

anyone know a good source to get brahma's? not looking for show quality but would like decent bird and has good production

brahmas arent very good egg producers. I havnt got any eggs in weeks. In the summer they only lay 3-4 eggs per week. They are friendly. They look good. They arent flighty. But they eat alot of feed. In hindsight i would not have selected this breed. The 1 i have are from murray mcmurray hatchery

You can buy incandescent heat lamps, refrigerator bulbs and ceiling lights. You can also still buy candelabra lights for chandeliers... and specialty lights for special fixtures....

I refuse to buy those compact flourescents though. they cannot be dimmed they cant be placed in a lamp that has a three way switch... and they are charged with Mercury Wich cannot be put into the land fill it has to be "recycled" because its a hazardous material.... I am waiting for the LED lights to come down in price.

Most hatcheries have them.
You can go to this list of MO breeders and query them on how they select their stock whether it be show quality or production and disease resistance.

Brahmas, as a breed aren't particularly productive (140+ eggs a year)
They do tend to be setters.
