The ancestry of
the Brahma traces back to China although much of their development took
place in the U.S. between 1850 and 1890. A very heavy fowl for the
production of heavy roasters or capons. The relatively slow rate of growth
and long time required to reach maturity have caused Brahmas to be passed
by as a commercial fowl. Standard Weights (Light): Cock-12 pounds; hen-9-1/2 pounds; cockerel-10 pounds; pullet-8 pounds. Standard Weights (Dark and Buff): Cock-1 1 pounds; hen-8-1/2 pounds; cockerel-9 pounds; pullet-7 pounds.
