Mar 5, 2021 · Also noteworthy: My light brahma hen was second to the top female at this age, so she was very dominant. Her name is Minnie but only because my daughter wanted to call her Meanie and I vetoed that. As an adult she is a sweet chicken, just a little head strong and stubborn sometimes.

May 15, 2017 · I have one cross beed hen. Ayam cemani with Brahma bantam. 1/6 eggs hatched, and I’ve been concerned because she is so docile and gentle. I absolutely love her she is the sweetest little chicken ever, she is 2 months old, Loves being held, carried not even a peep when being picked up. She lies down a lot, even when outside forageing.

Nov 24, 2012 · Looks good. The Brahma roosters we've had have never been mean, but if you have a lot they be hard on your hens. A full body picture will tell if they're hens or roosters. I wasn't sure at first either, I'll have to post some more pictures.

Jul 31, 2023 · The Brahma hens should have pea combs, and the Easter Eggers might too. From any hen with a pea comb, you should get at least some chicks with pea combs.

Dec 8, 2023 · I'd love some help firstly identifying if my 12 week old chick is a hen, and secondly if she's a Brahma? She was hatched from an egg, and I was told it was a a Brahma, but I can't pick which colour she'd be, as she's not a Buff Brahma (she's too light), or a light Brahma (as she's not white!) Thanks in advance. She's my first chicken and she's ...

Apr 9, 2024 · My brahma hen has went broody once. She was a mean broody. Ive noticed mine go broody in the fall instead of spring i have a bantam cochin whois broody right now.
