Brahma breed standards? Size? Temperament?

[ChickenShepherd_6116]

I have a Dark Brahma (4wks) and I got her from the Country Store in CDA Idaho; how many lbs do you think she will be? I can send pics if you guys want. She is also very docile and totally ok with being picked up and held, is that normal for this breed?

Edit: I should mention that I also have a Lavender Orp and my Brahma is definitely bigger than her. As far as I know, they are the same age (both pullets).

I have a Buff Brahma pullet that I'm absolutely in love with. After seeing her gentle and sweet personality, I ordered three more from our co-op. I named her Grace

She will likely get to be around 7 pounds. I believe hatchery Brahmas usually weigh less than show Brahmas.

Yes, it is very typical of the breed!
