Our Brahma point-of-lay (POL) hens are now available to reserve - these majestic birds, often called the "gentle giants" of the chicken world, are fully vaccinated and ready to join your flock, but they will not do well when put with Hybrid Hens. (they will get bullied) Known for their large size, stunning plumage, and calm temperament, Brahmas are a favourite for both ornamental and productive flocks. Egg-laying typically begins at around 24 weeks of age.

Care Instructions for Brahma Hens

• Housing Requirements: Ensure housing is spacious, with sturdy perches to accommodate their size. Coops and outdoor areas should remain dry to prevent feather damage, especially on their feet.
• Outdoor Tolerance: Brahmas are cold-hardy and thrive in winter, but they require dry and well-drained outdoor spaces to keep their feathered legs clean and healthy.
• Feeding: Keep them on growers' pellets until 18 weeks, transitioning to layers' pellets as they approach laying age. Provide fresh greens and occasional treats to maintain their health and vitality.

Important Information

• Flock Compatibility: Due to differences in vaccinations, we do not recommend mixing Brahmas with hybrid hens. These birds are best kept with other pure breeds or similar flocks to maintain optimal health and compatibility.
• Vaccination: All hens are fully vaccinated, giving you peace of mind as they join your flock.
• Group Size: We recommend keeping Brahmas in groups of at least three to ensure social happiness.
