Light Brahma
Named after India's Brhmaputra River the breed probably came to the United States on Nineteenth Century sailing ships, or could have been developed here from other Asian breeds. Brahmas are enormous, with hens weighing about 14 pounds. Their gentle and quiet temperament makes them one of the best breeds around children.
