Brahmas are the gentle giant of the poultry world, renowned for its impressive size, calm temperament, and striking appearance. Originating from large Asiatic breeds and refined in the United States, Brahmas typically weigh between 9 to 12 pounds, with roosters reaching up to 14 pounds. They stand tall with a stately, upright posture and are easily recognized by their feathered legs and feet, pea comb, and abundant plumage in varieties like Light, Dark, and Buff. Despite their size, Brahmas are surprisingly docile and sociable, making them ideal for backyard flocks and families with children. They’re moderately productive layers, offering around 150–200 large brown eggs annually, and are also valued for their meat. Hardy in cold climates and adaptable to various environments, Brahmas combine beauty, utility, and temperament in one regal package.
