brahma

I have a chunky-butt Brahma rooster who likes to be on the top roost (at 5') with the ladies, but was terrified to get down in the morning. I was worried that he would injure his legs, so I built ramps going up to the roost. They work perfect. He walks up and down and now even some of the hens...

I received this chick as a freebie when the other 15 I ordered? I think it looks like a Brahma but I'm not sure. It is around 6 weeks old. Can anyone help?

Making this thread so you can show off your peeps! Post pics and there breeds or mixes! I would also love to see cool crosses! Also hoping to get some inspo on some more potential breeds I love seeing them! Here’s some of ours! 1) we have our Rooster who is an EE I think brown red ameracauna...

We have a small flock of 4 backyard laying hens. We are looking to add another 2 hens (live in city limits, so we can have 6 hens total, and hopefully on the quieter end, pullet chicks). We have 2 Barred Plymouth Rocks, a Sapphire Gem and a Sapphire Olive Egger. All are pretty great foragers...

Hello! I hatched some chicks and I have some questions about their coloration. The one on the left has hardly any feathers on the feet, cheeks like my EE hens and has black running down her legs and onto her toes. The feathers on the black spots are also black. My hens with beards are a blue...

I have (had?) A Brahma hen just over a year old. She disappeared without a trace well over a month ago, and after asking around the neighborhood, I figured that something had taken her. I was sad, because Beatrice was one of my favorite girls (a lot of sass, that one), but I made my peace and...

So I bought some Brahma chicks from a market yesterday and I got 4 PARTRIDGE and 4 GOLD PARTRIDGE. I am extremely confused as to how breeding colour variants work, is there such thing as just a “partridge Brahma”? Or is it gonna be a “blue partridge” etc. and what happens if you crossed gold...

Hi, I got 4 brahma chicks from eggs that supposedly came from a red Pyle couple (I saw them and they looked the real deal) but the pullets have a bunch off colours - one looks red pyle, one almost lemon Pyle, one splash, one grey/blue - I'm not as familiarised with brahma colours as other...

Hello! We have a 1 year old dark Brahma who was being pecked pretty badly by her flock mates. She has a pretty large bald patch on her back and around her vent. The area near her vent is pretty red, and while applying Vaseline and peck no more today I noticed a hard white lump (see the third...

Yesterday I noticed a pretty big welt on our light brahma's face. Checked all the other chicks, no one else has got any similar signs. She doesn't seem to be too bothered by it, letting me check it out. It doesn't feel hard or hot. She's clucking and foraging, seems happy and normal. We recently...

Hello! I have a baby Brahma with a weird wing. It didn’t show sings of discomfort when inspecting it and it can move it. Could this be just a growth deformity? Or something else? I just want to make sure it doesn’t affect its quality of life. Chick is less than a week old

Hi everyone, I have a small flock of four Brahmas I got young, one silkie hen and one rooster (no idea what breed). It turns out one of my Brahmas is a rooster and he is HUGE. Albert the main rooster is much smaller than him but has been attacking the young dude non stop for the past two weeks...

I'm new here, so I'll try to keep it brief in a hello and please help me post! I have NO idea how we are going to make our new house's yard work for our animals. I had chickens for years as a child and loved caring for them. We finally got 6 baby Brahmas, quickly reduced to 5 - my favorite did...

I have three 8 week old light brahmas and a silver laced Wyandotte and 2 light brahmas who are 7 weeks old. I’m afraid almost all of them are roosters. What do you think? Sorry for so many pictures. I probably should have split into 2 posts. First chicken - white tag - Lee - 8 weeks Second...

Hello all! This is my first post beside my introduction post! I am sure one of you guys will know the answer to this question! I am looking to see what color Brahma babies I have? I am thinking one is a light Brahma (Theodora) because she is white/yellowish with black tips on her wings - but...

Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself here! I am a homeschooling mom of 4 kiddos and am excited to start my journey as a chicken mama as well! Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We ARE new to chickens! As a matter of fact, we have our first flock growing well in...

Hi all, I am new here to BYC, and have a couple of flocks after decades of time away from having poultry. My breeds are mostly Brahmas, one or two green egg layers and assorted other breeds that I’m not sure what they are since I bought them from Spanish speaking owners in a foreign country and...

hey all! i’m new to light brahmas. this is Buttercup, ~3 weeks old. she’s much darker than her sisters, her toe feathers are all dark as well. Will she grow up to have the standard light brahma look or will she stay darker? Thanks in advance!

I’m hearing that as far as the pea comb goes 3 means a male and one means female has that been accurate for you? Has anyone noticed what they thought was a pullet develop a 3 row pea comb and turn out to be a male or still female? Also with tail feather developing later has then been accurate...
