Brahma

This is my light brahma, Dottie. Very sweet hen, kinda shy, but not skittish.

I love their size and the fact that they don't fly over short fences.

My Brahmas made me laugh on a daily basis. Big friendly girls. I plan to get more.

They are humungous! They are really sweet and friendly and lay double yolks but they tend to crack eggs if they get in the habit.

Amazing chickens

We adore them, they are beautiful well mannered chickens. Our rooster is huge and everyone that sees our flock falls in love with them. Their eggs are big and delicious. Everyone wants them so we rarely have to many. I have hatched out 100 eggs for our friends and family to start their flock with. As well as sold some to. Fresh water and food they are happy. They are not very messy for their size. Their very calm and quiet birds. So glad to have them.

I love brahmas and used to own one but she past away in 2020

I got a high quality trio of dark Brahma bantams. The hens were very sweet and loveable. Despite the large fowl roosters in our free range flock, our Brahma male and assumed the role of leader. He was very good, treating the hens well, keeping the roosters in line, *presumably* an excellent lookout. Unfortunately, the hens never laid any eggs in their lives. Maybe a poor constitution? The cock seemed hearty to me.

I absolutely love my Brahma! “She” (hopefully) is a Buff Brahma named Cupcake. Super sweet, and not loud compared to the others. Although I’ve only had her for 9 weeks. I would highly, highly recommend this breed! To beginners and experienced chicken keepers alike! Here’s a few pictures of my precious girl.

i have one mystery Brahma and she is adorable

Brahmas are working their way up to my favorite breed. They have a softer, deeper cluck and chatter than other chicken breeds, though their sneezes can be quite loud! They handle confinement well, and being handled. If you're looking for meat they get rather large, but they take a while longer and eat a lot to get there! Speaking of eating--they must not miss meals or they can get mean to the other chickens real quick! But normally they aren't aggressive, but will hold their own against bullies.

They are awesome great mothers, super cold tolerant, and have a nice temperment!

I love my brahmas!

Tikka, my 21 week old Brahma chicken, was bullied when she was a baby, but now she is in the middle of the packing order. It takes a lot of treats and ignoring her, for her to be comfortable and come close to me. Unfortunately, I have to chase her to be able to catch her to do a mite check or apply diatomaceous earth. I try to trick her with treats and to be as gentle as possible, but still she hates being grabbed and becomes skittish again.

I have a light Brahma and she is super fluffy and feathery. She lays small eggs and isn’t a great layer. She is second to last in the pecking order and she bullies the one hen beneath her. She chases, pecks, doesn’t allow her to eat treats, and makes her life miserable. Other than that she is very docile with humans and is very friendly and curious.

I've noticed a bit of a difference between the buffs and the lights. The buff were great and the only breed I've had rooster of. Wonderful roosters. My light Brahma, though, was leagues above. She had the most gentle and amazing spirit from the get. Her calm, unbelievably chill nature affected the entire flock. She had some health issues and when she had to be separated, the whole flock changed. She got thru some crazy health stuff, to the point where she became known as Morgaine, the wonder chicken. She was the matriarch; when one of the girls had internal laying and got sepsis, after her surgery she slept under Morgaine's wing for at least a month and Morgaine was totally good with it. Even though, she was a 9.5lb bird, 3 lbs bigger than my next largest bird, she wasn't at the top of the pecking order. She was just not into that and did not participate in shenanigans, but she was somewhere toward the top of the middle. In fact, her affect on the flock, was so profound, it kept the shenanigans at such a minimum, it took me 3 years to notice their pecking order....and I spend a LOT of time with my birds. She was just a big fluff ball of love and everyone loved her. She also had a sense of humor and was just funny. Smart too, I taught her to count to 7, scratched my pant leg with her beak, to get a peanut. Best chicken ever....and I've had Faverolles, who were also spectacular birds.

My sweet brahma pullet who was brought up with us as a chick, still jumps up on my back. She is the first to come and investigate and is totally unafraid, but very docile. She is not mean to any birds, even new ones to the flock. The Brahma rooster we have is a big baby who will run and hide from any predator, though. He is skiddish and walks away when you're around. They eat a lot more than the other birds, but she was my first pullet to lay and she laid almost every day in the warmer days.

My oldest hen is a light Brahma. I think the nickname 'gentle giant' for this breed is well deserved. She is the most friendly, easygoing hen we have. She got attacked by an opossum years ago which required that I keep her inside for five months and treat her wound daily. She was sweet all through this; even the vet who has chickens herself said she was a cool chicken.

We recently got some pullets and she's been somewhat of a mother hen to them. She gets upset when they don't come in the coop at night. She'll call and wait for them to go in until she goes in herself.

We think she's six and she still lays on occasion. She was a strong layer in her prime. Other than bumblefoot she's been healthy.

Our chicks have been great. I love their giant size and their feathered legs! They are also super calm and friendly, which was important to us as we have multiple kids. We can't wait for them to be fullsized wandering around our back yard.

Brahmas are my favorite chicken.
