First and foremost Brahmas are found to be extremely hardy chickens. 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 hens tend to go broody in early summer and will sit devotedly on their nests.
Secondly, can you eat Brahma chicken? The Brahma was primarily used as a meat chicken, and with the roosters weighing a huge 12 pounds or more, that is understandable. We are not raising chickens for meat so all of my Brahmas are kept as egg layers or chicken eye candy.
Beside above, do Brahma chickens lay eggs?
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. Their egg production is between October and May and they produce 3-4 eggs a week!
