our brahma chickens
The Brahma chicken, known as a king amongst its kind, is considered a heritage bird by the American Poultry Association because of its pre-mid-twentieth century beginnings.
Despite its formidable demeanor, it’s an extremely large and stately chicken, although it’s been dubbed a ‘gentle giant.’
Principally a table bird until the 1930s, it is a staple for any backyard flock. They are large and intimidating enough to protect and even defend the flock from small predators.
Our Brahma flock is still young, but we had a great start with top quality birds and are very proud on how they develop and can't wait to expand our flock in the near future.

These handsome birds are gentle enough even for beginning hobbyists and can be reared for the dual purpose of both meat and eggs.
These hardy chickens are good egg-layers, and before the rise of the industrial birds of the 1930s, they were the preferred meat chicken bird.
Though they can be used as meat birds, we do not butcher any of our Brahmas and they live the good life here as family pets only.

Lifespan and Eggs production
There are several varieties that the American Poultry Association does not recognize, such as the buff laced, silver laced, and gold-laced varieties.
We do love the variety of color and strive for healthy birds with excellent temperaments.
Our birds are handled daily and surely know what love it.

Lifespan and Eggs production
The average lifespan of a Brahma chicken is about 5-8 years, although it is not uncommon for them to liver longer, up to 10-12 years.
While it can take around 7 months before Brahma hens are ready to begin laying for the first time, they are fairly prolific layers, averaging 3 to 4 eggs a week, or around 150 eggs annually.
Unlike other breeds that stop egg production in the winter months, Brahma hens prefer to lay eggs from October to May.
The eggs are of medium size and brown. The hens are not known for broodiness, but when they do, on occasion, turn out to be the broody type, they will sit on the eggs unwaveringly until they are hatched.

Characteristics
The body of the Brahma chicken is long, deep, and broad. It has an impressive, upright posture, and when you view the long, feathered legs from the side, they have a narrow V-shaped appearance.
Brahma chickens are known for their calm, friendly and docile temperament. They are good-natured, gentle and happy around their people. They are also trusting, love attention and being handled. Their large size and placid nature make them unflappable, and they do not like to engage in fights or disputed with other birds. They are easy to contain because they are big and can't fly.
