Traits : Good Brahmas are gorgeous, stately birds. Their large size and peaceful nature mixed with complicated color patterns makes them tops for the country estate. The Brahma’s appearance in the showroom never fails to order the admiration of one and all. These qualities made them a fave with showmen and fanciers. Brahmas do go broody and are reasonably good mummies. Their tiny brush and wattles, along with copious feathering and well feathered shanks and toes enable them to stand cold temperatures very well. The comparatively slow rate of growth and long time needed to reach maturity have caused Brahmas to be passed by as a commercial fowl.
Brahmas bantams and are peaceful giants with feathered legs and feet and copious, fluffy feathering. Originally from India, these birds were bred for beef production, though the hens lay comparatively decently and are great setters and mums.
