I have 2 Dark Brahma Roosters that I bought in late April 2025, one of them (Luigi) is fully feathered and gorgeous. The 2nd one (Mario) is bigger, taller, but without his rooster plumage 
he still has his "teenager" weathering but no rooster plumage.
Mario is the friendlier one and the one I would like to keep, but im a little concerned that his plumage isnt in yet. I know Brahma's mature later, but theyre about 8 months old already so I woulda thought since one has his plumage feathers already, they both would.
Any reason why this would be? I dont want to end up keeping Mario if hes going to pass festher issues onto any future chicks.
