"Brahma" is the correct spelling for the breed you are thinking of. You had an extra "a" in the middle.A black Australorp, and we THINK brahama is that the spelling??
Ah ok I thought Brahama like The Bahamas but with an r lol. Me and breeds do not mix"Brahma" is the correct spelling for the breed you are thinking of. You had an extra "a" in the middle.
The word Brahma does exist apart from being a chicken breed. Unfortunately, I can never remember what it means, just that it HAS a meaning of some sort, and the chicken was presumably named after it.Ah ok I thought Brahama like The Bahamas but with an r lol. Me and breeds do not mix
Cool. The black one in my picture is half Australorp, and the yellow chick, as well as a slightly different looking black one who isn’t in the picture, are half Easter Egg. They all have the same dad, my Plymouth Barred Rock.A black Australorp, and we THINK brahama is that the spelling??
Not necessarily a breeding project. Sooner an illegal or expensive shopping project.I do not know of any serama-sized chickens with crests like that-- yet.
But if you are looking for a breeding project...
Oh, that's much easier. Someone just needs to get them imported, which is probably still cheaper than feeding & housing birds for a big long breeding project.Not necessarily a breeding project. Sooner an illegal or expensive shopping project.
According to the Dutch Chickenencyclopedia the Appenzeller spitshauben and Brabanter do exist as bantams.

Btw: Bantam is Kriel in Dutch.
Hindu god.The word Brahma does exist apart from being a chicken breed. Unfortunately, I can never remember what it means, just that it HAS a meaning of some sort, and the chicken was presumably named after it.
I just looked up Brahma history in wikipedia, and apparently they were named "Brahmapootra" at one time (for a river, presumably in turn named for the Hindu god), but later got shortened to plain "Brahma."Hindu god.
