Breeding Brahmas
« on: June 22, 2010, 12:43 »
Hi All

I have a "full size" Brahma female and a bantam Brahma female.  I am going to get a Brahma male.
Can anyone please tell me what would I get if the male bred with the bantam, would I get bantams, "full size" Brahmas or anything in between??????????

Such a daft question I know but I need to know whether to keep the bantam apart or not.

Cheers

Bob

You would probably get something inbetween - but the size of the grown birds will be determined by the mum (bantam) as she will still lay bantam sized eggs - even if the chicks have the potential to be larger.

Also LF Brahmas are huge (as you know) and I think that a LF brahma male would probably squash a bantam.

If you wanted to show, oversize bantams or undersize LF would be disqualified.
