The Top 16 Chicken Breeds for Your Backyard Flock

Brahmas are huge sweethearts. Truly gentle giants, Brahmas are big birds with calm, loving personalities. In addition to their large size, they have profuse feathers and feathered feet. They have small pea combs so are less prone to frostbite and coupled with their large size, make them a great choice for northern chicken keepers. They come in three color varieties: light (white with black around neck, tail and wing tips), dark (grey/brown feathers with lovely black penciled outlines) and buff (a warm, golden color with black around neck, tail & wings). In addition to their beautiful appearance and sweet personality, they are great layers. You can expect 5-6 large brown eggs per week.
