I own two of these goofy looking quirky sounding dinosaurs with my other 40 plus free ranging chickens. They are always providing entertainment during the day.

I love my brahmas! Theyre really calm & sweet. However, my sweet brahma rooster Hank had more heavily feathered legs than my hens. He ended up having the issue of snow (I live in an extremely snowy area) sticking to his leg feathers & ended up with pretty severe frostbite before I even realized what was happening. Once I noticed I started putting wood shavings on top of the snow in their run after each storm. Just something to keep in mind about them.

yes those legs can cause trouble. I during the winter go to a full lock down situation. I don't have the freedom to let the dog wonder the property to clear away the predators and during the winter they'd look to tasty for the starving predators. Which makes it easier on my not having to keep my Brahmas and silkies in while letting the others out. My run can get snow in it from the front, but its been pretty good on the brahmas so far.

I'm from Bangladesh and I don't think the Bramha is directly descended from Bangladeshi breeds like the Chittagong chicken. These birds look more like basketball players where The Bahamas look more like bodybuilders or strongmen. There may be some Chittagong or Asil genetics in the gene pool but it seems to be rather diluted. Overall, the nice video, keep posting and I hope your channel grows. Love from a fellow chicken fancier from across the globe.

@@trevortinsley5126 Have you had many different rooster breeds? I only have my one Lt Brahma hen, Lady. Wouldn’t he be too big for my 7 smaller girls? And would he mature sexually, fast enough?

One went after Lady, so big & white, (she didn’t show any blood or injury, just made a lot of noise?) So I now guard them much better whenever I let them out.

Can't wait to get 2 of these in my 5 breed flock ( a baker's dozen of Barred Plymouth Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, Black Ostralorps, Wyandotte + 2 light (white) Bramahs total) , ordered +ready to arrive May 4th ! My first hens. My Dad had chickens when I was preschool, then I had a flock of 21 roosters in my teens that were pets. I'm 68 this year + feel it's time to have some more food security. I don't want them for meat, because I only want pets; but if the hard times keep threatening , like with the arrest of the only president that stands for liberty today, it will be reassuring to know when the egg layers quit, we don't have to go thru the probable famine ahead with empty bellies.

We had one that was given to us. We enjoyed her while we had her, but I doubt I get another. They seem like bulldogs or something - they might have a unique look or temperament, but they're genetically inferior to other varieties. Our girl was pretty and sweet, but she had a hard time moving around outside and keeping up with the other chickens. She was also the only bird I've had in the past year that got a prolapsed vent. It wouldn't stay in, and I had no joy in having to put her down.

My wyandottes & jersey giants were mean (althought ive heard these guys are typically friendly), my australorp wasn't as bad but not friendly, my brahma was like a puppy.
