brahma

Hi. I have a problem with Apache le Colosse - my light Brahma rooster : his skin is quickly blackening on his head (crest and wattles). Look at the picture, and you can notice how his skin is dark compared with my dark Brahma : If I am not mistaken, this is caused by a lack of oxygen in his...

Hello! New member here :) my name is Gemala, I'm from Indonesia the origin country of Ayam Cemani! I'm a new chicken keeper, my first chickens are Brahma. I got them mid September 2023, so it has been 2 months of wonderful experience for me. Now I own 6 Brahmas, and 2 Rhode Island White chicks...

Hi everyone, I hatched out 2 eggs from my own flock (white Brahma) and bought 5 more chicks (“Blue” Laced Wyandottes) from the feed store. None of the birds were sexed. They are 7.5 weeks old today and I’m starting to think I got mainly roosters. 😅 I get very attached (so does my husband) so if...

I have a question about mixing a flock and also what to expect from a roo (or two). Currently, we have 2 Embden geese (f). We also have 2 mallard drakes and a Rouen female, which wasn't intentional or ideal. We are going to expand next year. Flock size, pen, and water pools/pond. 2 more geese...

My first post outside of the goose forum! So this week we will be taking on some new birds, we are getting one adult brahma male and 2 younger males plus 4 young Muscovy ducks. We have only ever handled geese before so this will be very new to us! Any advice is incredibly welcome. We don’t...

Hi! Here is my 17 week old Brahma, Debby. I’m assuming that Debby is a boy but am not 100% sure. Up until a couple of weeks ago Debby was completely black but has recently started to grow some gold feathers on the wings and head. What colour does this make him/her? Does it have anything to do...

Only have one Brahma so nothing to compare. It's a few mths old. Opinions on hen or roo please?

I'm mostly posting because I need reassurance that I'm doing the right thing. I have a Brahma rooster that is covered in lice & nits.... I discovered the infestation because he has been laying down a lot, & very wobbly when he's up trying to keep up with the flock, & I was checking for...

I've tried to search and research, and while most say Brahma laying age is between 6-7 months, I did find ONE post that said hatchery pullets can lay early. Ours are 18.5(ish) weeks, gotten from TSC(Hoovers)when they were roughly a week old. Bianca, our reddest of the Light Brahmas has been...

looking to rehome my rooster, I have too many. I live in central florida i am willing to deliver within a certain mile radius, just ask! He is strong, healthy, & parasite free.

These are RK pullets… or are supposed to be 😂 they were sold as buff Brahma pullets and they all looked the same when I got them but now that they’re feathered there’s obvious differences. Are they still all considered buff Brahma? Also, is the one with the red comb a roo?

My newest brahmas are 10 weeks old and I don’t remember my buff Brahma pullets being so red so early and this light Brahma is making me question because they are becoming red faster? What do you think pullet or roo?

Hello! I’ve hatched three lovely Brahmas three weeks ago, can anyone help me figure out their colours? I was thinking maybe a gold partridge and an Isabella? Really not sure about the third one. Thanks!

Hello! 3 weeks ago I hatched a mixture of different breeds, and I got some Brahmas! I'm pretty sure I've identified a Gold Partridge baby and an Isabella one too. But I'm struggling to tell what colour the third chick is, does anyone have any ideas? Her fluffy down on her chest and belly is a...

Five beautiful, healthy and friendly chickens looking for a new home. We are moving and sadly can't take our girls. We have 2 grey Orpingtons, 1 black Orpington, 1 light Brahma and 1 partridge Cochin. They were all born in April of last year and are the sweetest things! They will eat from your...

About a week ago this chick (2.5 weeks old) started limping, thinking it was a sprain we examined her and found her leg to look just like her other, no heat, no discoloration, no bend, no swelling, it appeared normal. However 2 days ago I noticed some redness and some swelling near the top of...

I currently have 3 Brahma Roosters (2 dark 1 buff) that I am looking to rehome from my group that are going on 15 weeks old. They have been pretty good around each other except the dark ones kinda worked together keeping the buff one at the bottom of the pecking order, pecking his rear big...

The lighter one is turning lavander. Pretty sure she's a hen. The dark brahma seems to be a roo which is great. We wanted a roo to add to the flock. Looking for some input from experienced brahma owners.

I have 3 buff brahmas and I am noticing they all look so similar except one has super red wattles and comb, her comb looks bigger than the others as well? She is 16 weeks is she a pullet maturing faster or is she actually a he? She is far more dominant and definitely the dominant hen of the coop...

Wondering on my breeds if any of you have these kinds around what age they layed their first eggs? Mine should be any day and I’m so excited it’s like waiting for Christmas morning. I have almost 16 week olds! Breeds: buff brahmas (I know they are later layers) Easter eggers Sapphire gem...
