All About Brahmas

Light Brahma chickens are a breed of chicken that originated in the United States in the mid-1800s.

They were developed from chickens imported from China and crossed with other large breeds, like the

Cochin and Malay. 


History
The original variety of Brahma chicken was the Light Brahma. 
The Light Brahma was recognized in 1874 by the American Poultry Association.
