4 week old Dark Brahma pullet or roo?

[PaintedMeadows]

this is my daughter's chicken named Jasmine so I am praying it's a she.

She is almost 4 weeks old in the pictures. Sorry they aren't the best. This chick is more like a puppy. Follows Téa everywhere and sleeps on her while they watch cartoons. lol. Here they are watching Spongebob.

Is her back as well feathered as it appears to be? I'm thinking pullet. In another week or two, it'll be easier to tell; but I'm pretty sure.

Thats a Pullet .. Cause The Tail is Not really Long and The Comb Is Not redish

Yup, really well feathered and her head is getting feathers fast too. I so hope she is a pullet cause she is HUGELY loved by a little girl who has had her 2 horses die and her dog dissappear in the last 18 months. Thanks!!

Brahmas in my expierience feather really slow....so it probably is a hn

cool. We have 3 others that are WAAAYYYY behind her in feathering so they are probably roos? I will try to get pictures of them.

From the looks of the feathering its a hen. In Dark Brahmas the hens and roos do not look the same. The hens are double laced and the roos have more of a black breast. The coloring is really a silver penciled. Here's a picture of my Dark brahma roo and hens so you can see the difference in there coloring.

This is Rocky my Dark Brahma roo:

These are my Dark Brahma hens:

This is one of my Dark Brahma pullets at about 8 weeks:
