Is this a Dark Brahma and if so can you tell the sex?

[shanji]

This was free from a local store and was in the "mix" box. Just curious what you all think...

This was at a couple days old (chipmunky looking one):




And here at about 3.5 weeks:





Any other tell tale signs that I could post pics of?

Yes, that is a Dark Brahma. However, it is too young to sex.

Looks like a Dark Brahma to me.

No idea on sex, but I would say its a pretty safe bet its a Dark Brahma based on the feathered legs and the way its feathering out. Check out the chick video here: https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/dark_brahmas.html Also there is a pic of a male and female Dark Brahma juvenile feathering out: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/207126/dark-brahma I would really love a Dark Brahma, we have a Light Brahma chick in the brooder and she's adorable.

What age do you think it is possible to sex? When they crow or lay an egg or earlier?

by now you can sex it. Looks roo to me just based on the white coming in and the fact that at 3.5 weeks it is nearly featherless. I'm interested - can you post a new pic?
