    They are also good egg-layers for their size. Considered a superior winter-layer, they produce the bulk of their eggs from October to May. The eggs of the Brahma are large and uniformly medium brown in color. The hens tend to go broody in early summer and will sit devotedly on their nests.

    Also, why are Brahma chickens so big? Because of the breeds large size, Brahmas were initially used as a meat breed. Thanks to their docile personalities and wintertime hardiness, the large birds are easy to keep, making them a popular breed among hobbyists and breeders, alike. As egg layers, Brahma hens lay a significant amount of brown eggs.

    Subsequently, one may also ask, how tall is a Brahma chicken?

    To compare, the American Poultry Association Standard of Perfection states the standard brahma rooster is 2.5 feet tall, says Mejstrik, with pullets, hens, and roosters weighing 5 to 8 pounds.

    Are Brahma chickens good to eat?

    Well Brahmas are considered a dual purpose breed which means they can be used for meat eggs and ornamental. I have two brahmas, one rooster and one hen. My rooster is huge he is atleast 10 pounds and I love them both and could never eat either but they are really great birds and got tons of meat on them.
