I'm hoping to get some chickens soon - in the process of fencing off an area & building a coop.

My idea was to get x2 ex-battery hens & a Gold Brahma Cockerel & hen - will this mix be ok?

I do want a few eggs but as there is just me & my OH am not expecting loads - I really love the look of the Brahmas & their temperament sounds lovely.

There are a few sites regarding rehoming ex-battery hens but what should I look for when selecting the Brahmas? Can anyone recommend a good breeder? I've never bought chickens before so want to make sure I get healthy birds from a reptuable source.

Thanks for any advice

Don't be silly, chickens don't run on batteries ;-)

If you could that would be great. Am so excited about getting them, I can't belive I managed to talk my OH round so easily.

Just hope the dogs learn to leave them alone don't go try to get in with them

Could be chicken on the menu for Toby

I will ask her when i see her next x

Just looked at your sebiste - they are beautiful birds. The Gold Brahmas are stunning although Sproket is a beautiful aswell!

I would definitely want a cockerel, from what I've read they don't crow too loudly - is that right?

Thankyou

The brahma cockerels have very low crows so tend not to sound so loud
although when they start to crow its a little higher till they fill out and get older......
The gold brahmas are the only colour I don't breed, I breed blues, blacks, splashes,darks, lemon pyles, buff columbians and hopefully blue buff columbian and columbian this year

and I have a few brahma boys at the moment looking for loving homes

Excellent - I have wanted a Brahma cockerel for ages now. Hopefully our chicken area will be secure by next week so will be able to come & have a look at what you have available

Well just give me a shout if you want to come and see them or you want any
pics of the boys I have at the moment
