Dark Brahma Dozen - PRE SALE

PRE SALE - Dispatch starting June ‘25

The Brahma chicken is one of the largest chicken breeds, known as the ‘king of chickens’. They are both a meat and egg laying chicken. They also make great backyard pets.

The Brahma was first bred in the 1800’s. In China, a Malay and Cochin were cross bred to create a Shanghai chicken. This chicken was then taken to the USA by sailors.

The Shanghai was bred in America with the Grey Chittagong from India. The name ‘Brahma’ is derived from the river Brahmaputra in India.

Until the 1930’s, the Brahma was one of the most popular chickens for meat due to its size. However, as industrial farming grew, Brahmas became unfavourable as they can take up to two years to reach maturity.

Breeds that matured faster became more profitable for their meat. Brahmas are now steadily growing in popularity again, this time as backyard pets.
