Most of our roosters come from families that loved and handled them daily until discovering they had a manly voice. By adopting an adult rooster from us, not only are you giving the rooster you adopt a good home, you are allowing us to have another slot avaialble for the next city family that is looking for a home for their pet roosters. City families want to thank those willing to give a good home to these friendly boys.   Photos are samples of the roosters that families have brought to us.  Your exact rooster will be based on what is available at time of pick up.  If we do not have one available at the time of your order, you will be placed on the waitlist for the next one that arrives.
 
The Brahma is an ideal chicken for northern climates such as Colorado.  Thanks to it’s peacomb, down, and tight feathering, it’s known as the least susceptible chicken to cold and frostbite. Brahmas are considered a superior winter-layer, producing  a high rate of eggs between October to May.  Hens naturally go broody in the summer if you want to hatch out some of your own baby chicks.   It is important that they keep  are able to walk on well-drained soils. Part of caring for a brahma and any feather legged chicken is to inspect  feathered feet to prevent leg mites.

Gentle Giants.  Known for its impressive size and appearance, Brahmas weigh 10 -12 pounds. Brahmas are one of the largest breeds of chickens and take a little longer to fully mature. Brahmas initially gained interest as a meat breed. Since then, they have warmed the hearts of families thanks to their docile personalities and friendly nature. These gentle giants endure hard winters, are easy to keep (won't fly over fencing). Their dual purpose and good mothering qualities make them a sought out choice for homesteaders.
