    Dark Brahma Roo X Light Brahma Hen

    Assuming the buff females will also have some of the extra black leakage and varied pencilling?

    Dark Brahma Roo X Light Brahma Hen

    This is so great. Thanks so much for sharing the picture. I haven’t been able to find anything where there was a visual. But I’ve got 22eggs in the incubator so we’ll soon get a first hand account ☺️

    No, I mean a Dark Brahma Rooster. Not black.

    Leg injury or egg bound?

    Thanks for your reply. I am leaning more toward injury. Her demeanor and energy is still great. In our flock we have full grown Brahma roosters (they’re big boys) with our laying hens. The pullets share the run and coop and up until this week the roosters ignored them. But we have seen a few of...

    Leg injury or egg bound?

    Hoping for some insight from anyone with more experience. I have a 5mo old Brahma Pullet. Noticed her having trouble walking 3 days ago. She falls to one side. I’ve examined and don’t see any signs of wounds, swelling, tenderness etc. on the first day her right foot seemed limp, but she is now...

    Pullet with crop issue?

    Unfortunately I don’t think she is going to make it. I oil and massaged her yesterday morning, last night her crop was empty but she had isolated under the coop so I brought her inside, dried her off, did a little VetRX on her. She was having trouble keeping her eyes open and no energy to stand...

    Pullet with crop issue?

    Thanks so much for the advice. My hunch is definitely crop impaction although really not sure what she could have found in their run that would cause a problem. Should I repeat the oil throughout the day? Or will it be obvious if it worked based on her behavior? She definitely wasn’t moving...

    Pullet with crop issue?

    5mo old Brahma Pullet. Noticed her stretching her neck and opening mouth 2 days ago. No rasping sounds or indication of respiratory issues (I could be wrong). I’ve been gently massaging her crop. It wasn’t empty this morning. Couldn’t feel grit or feed, just a firm/squishy pouch. Tonight I...

    Dark Brahma Roo X Light Brahma Hen

    Thank you! I’m curious if you kept a rooster from that mix and bred back to a pure light Brahma hen, would it further dilute the dark to essentially give you all light offspring, or would some of the pencilling and extra dark feathers still come through in the second generation?

    This is helpful thank you So in the case of dark over light, both the male and female offspring would be light with some/varied penciling.

    Dark Brahma Roo X Light Brahma Hen

    Hi Color experts This may be a simple answer but I can’t figure it out. Can someone tell me the outcome of using a dark Brahma Roo to cover light, dark and buff Brahma hens. Obviously dark and dark makes dark, but unsure what the result is with dark Roo, light hen. Thanks!!

    Standard Brahmas

    I’m near Glasgow KY and currently on the hunt for a couple light or dark Brahma roosters. Also willing to drive. If you happen to find any and don’t need the extra Roos let me know!
