Janty Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Still very eagle like. Didn't realise until yesterday...hubby is petrified of them. He said that he was always very wary of the two that turned out to be boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 They are stunners Janty! Beautiful girls! They do look very eagle-ish don't they? Will they get combs eventually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Not like the other chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Wow Janty, they are FANTASTIC! I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to persuade OH that once we've got the ex-batts we could also fit in two Brahmas. What is the one in the top picture? I think she's absolutely beautfiul, and so enormous! How old are they, I read last night that they don't start laying til about 32 weeks or so. I can imagine why your OH was wary of the boys, I think they look very imposing!!

Jules. Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I think your chicken would have worried me, too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 The two new hens are about 25 - 30 weeks. They are POL so that 32 weeks would be about right. Brahma hens mature at about 6-7 months and cockerels at about 18 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Aww, they're lovely. They look very discerning though and I can definitely see that they could easily scare you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
