What breed is Big Bertha?

[charliesgirl]

i got Bertha from a woman because she was getting beat up too much at her house. my birds are still fairly young and can handle a little reconsrtucting of their pecking order so i took her in. she keeps to herself but doesnt mind being picked up. ive had her for about 3 months now and have yet to get an egg, but her tail and back feathers are coming in nicely, this is an old pic. she looks pretty beaten up but i will have to find a new pic to post also... here she is. if you could tell me what kind of chicken she is that would be great.

Looks like a Light brahma. If she was bare and is still regrowing new feathers (molt) she will not lay very much if at all. Give her a little while to finish the feathering and she will probably kick laying up some.

I got a Big Bertha too! But she's a Black Austrolop.

Poor thing! She's a light Brahma. I'm glad you took her out of that situation.

I have a Big Bertha too, an australorp like fordmommy's.

Your Big Bertha is definitely a light brahma.
