My daughter is in FFA this year, and she didn't want to be like the other kids so she got herself a giant Brahma chick. At 8 weeks old it has now reached the size of the adult hens in the coop. She's also very sweet and will go and sit in my daughter's lap and purr when her head is scratched, and even fall asleep in her lap. I can't wait to see her at her adult size! Anyone else keep Brahmas? I had never heard of them until my daughter got one.
Hens grow to be about 9 pounds and roosters are about 12 lb!
Here she is pictured next to another 8 week old chick of the standard fare of chickens.
