About This Site
An independent breed guide — not a breed club
This is not the American Brahma Club
The domain americanbrahmaclub.org previously belonged to the American Brahma Club, a breed club for Brahma chicken fanciers. This website is not the American Brahma Club, is not run by it, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to it or to any previous owner of this domain. It is a new, independent information site launched in October 2026.
This site has no members, officers, judges, breeder directory, show calendar or membership forms, and nothing here is for sale.
Looking for the club?
If you came here looking for the American Brahma Club itself, no current official website for the club could be found when this site launched in October 2026. These pages may help you reach Brahma breeders and clubs:
- The American Poultry Association, which publishes the Standard of Perfection, maintains a list of associated and member clubs: https://www.amerpoultryassn.com/associate_and_club_membership.php (when checked in October 2026 it did not list a Brahma club). APA home page: https://www.amerpoultryassn.com/
- FeatherSite's Poultry Breed Club Index lists both the American Brahma Club and The International Brahma Club among breed clubs: https://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/BRKBreedClubs.html
- The Livestock Conservancy breed page offers background and breeder resources for heritage breeds: https://livestockconservancy.org/heritage-breeds/heritage-breeds-list/brahma-chicken/
What this site covers
An independent, plain-language reference on the Brahma chicken breed:
- History — Shanghai and Chittagong imports, the 1850s "hen fever" and the 1874 Standard
- Varieties — Light, Dark, Buff and the bantams
- Size and weight — standard weights and the 2017 viral "giant chicken"
- Keeping Brahmas — cold hardiness, feathered feet, space and laying season
- Giant breeds compared — Jersey Giant, Cochin and Langshan
How facts are sourced
Every fact, figure and date on this site comes from a published source that is linked at the bottom of the page where it appears — mainly The Livestock Conservancy, university poultry departments and extension services, Wikipedia, and contemporary reporting such as Farm and Dairy. Where sources disagree (for example on standard hen weights or the year the Buff variety was recognized), the pages say so. There are no first-person reviews, testimonials or invented experiences here. For show purposes, the current edition of the APA Standard of Perfection is the authority.
