The Brahmas are a very old breed from Asia, probably originating in India and brought to this country about 1850 by Yankee sailors on their return from trading in Far Eastern ports. Because of its massive size, full feathered shanks and toes, and striking black and white plumage pattern, it has always been one of the most interesting varieties to work with. Brahmas are exceptionally quiet, gentle, and easy to handle. Their small pea comb, great size, and heavy plumage make them almost immune to cold weather. The hens are good layers of brown eggs, especially in winter, and will also set. Cockerels develop a tremendous frame, grow rather slowly, but when fully fleshed make a beautiful roasting chicken. They are easy to dress with light plumage and yellow skin. Baby chicks are creamy white, but some have shades of gray on the back.

Loved these chickens! Quiet and beautiful. The rooster is an excellent peaceful bird.
 
 
These are the best chickens ever! You couldn't ask for any better. They have a wonderful temperment, and are great around kids. The babies are very hardy especially in the winter time. I was very pleaed with my order of baby chicks. Thanks McMurray!
 
 
Thank you so much for my healthy Brahmas & Orpingtons. I had brought several of your medicines and wormer products but thus far I havent had to use them ! In my small town, news of my chickens from Iowa spread and we have had many visitors to see them.
 
 
My light brahmas, orpingtons, and black giants are some of the most gentle birds. They are more like pets. They serve their purpose well and yet are very fun and enjoyable. Thanks for standing by your items.
 
 
I have been around chickens all my life, but have never had any that were as gentle and friendly as the Light Brahmas. Many a time I would find my 10 year old daughter sitting in the pen with little chicks roosting all over her. They are 1 year old now and are great pets. Even the rooster is gentle enough to pick up and pet.
 
 
Thanks for your wonderful chicks. I have ordered twice now, and have gotten heathy chicks, and great customer service as well. I love my light brahma "Griz"-he is a big pet. I also ordered cornish-x meat birds--I was so impressed with their growth--one was so large he didnt fit in a gallon ziplock bag when we butchered! Thanks for your excellent chicks!!
 
 
Of the 4 heavy breeds we purchased, the Light Brahma is far and away our favorite. Sturdy, intelligent, active, friendly, and the least liable to pick or harass -- next time, it will make up our entire chick order. Thanks for such healthy birds!

Wild geese are faithful, mate for life and sometimes refuse to stop mourning when their mate dies.
