Brahma chicken : Heavy chicken from India


Due this tall and big chicken, this chicken is very interesting. The tall is almost two feet or 66 cm or two-third meters. this bird is taller than othe rcommon chicken such as new hampshire red, rhode island an others.

Brahma has full legged and feet plumage. This plumage and  the size of the chciken also make them less agile. They have bid "boot". This plumage make the difficult in wet or dirty environmente. the owner must notice tje plumage and it make the oner need more time to raise the chicken.

i feel this chciken is not suitable in my environment because   the heavy rain, my envorinment is wet like other topical country.  Since this chciken comes from tropical country, this chciken is suitabel for sub tropical country whih has four season. 

The chicken origin is Brahmaputra River, India. United States has developed the bird become the large class chicken that has heavyweight. Roosters weigh 5.5 kilogram (12 pound), while the hens weigh 4.5 kilogram (9.9 pound). Beside as the meat producer, a Brahma hen is also a good winter layer. The egg’s weigh 55-60 g approximately. The color of the egg shell is brown. 

The Brahma is massive, stately, and with upright carriage. They have short back. When standing, they almost appear to form V.
The head is large and has a small pea comb. The have double wattle and red earlobes.  
The color that United States standard accepted is light, buff, and dark. The Australia standard recognizes other color of Brahma such as, black, blue, barred, and crele. Brahma is also available in Bantam version which is smaller than the standard. light color is predominantly white, accented by black marking on hackle and tail feather. The dark color is penciled variation with laceled pattern. The buff color is predominnatly by buff or light brown. Either the light or  the buff share colomubian varieties. 
The chicken is tame and they want you to hold them. brahma is famous as a friendly chicken. though the very big body, it is a tame giant. 
The are good at the free range.
