Brahma chickens are great if you’re a backyard chicken keeper looking more for personality in your flock than for eggs. Brahma chickens have three features that set them apart from most other breeds; gigantic size, feathered legs and feet that look like bloomers, incredibly gentle and sweet-natured. They are known for short tails, upright posture, and large impressive stature. They are so majestic looking that you can’t help but add a few to your flock.
