Brahmas are a large, feather footed breed. They're an extra large, heavy breed with feathered shanks and lightly feathered feet. They have small red wattles and a pea comb. Next to Cochins and Jersey Giants, Brahmas are one of the largest breeds of chickens.



Despite their size, Brahmas are particularly gentle. They are docile, mellow, and friendly; and are a favorite among families with kids, especially when raised from a young age.

 

They are decent layers of large, light brown eggs; and will seldom go broody.
