Attention Dark Brahma rooster owners

[Chickmamajessica]

I was sold a dark Brahma “pullet” by Tractor supply but recently discovered she is a he. At what point did your Brahma Roo start crowing? I know they develop later than other breeds. Little dude is 9.5 weeks old today but hasn’t shown any vocalizing yet.

Mine didn't start until...4-5 moths old? Maybe longer. Luckily, mine didn't crow often and had a deeper crow... once puberty left. Before that, it sounded like someone murdering goats underwater.

I'm not sure, honestly. But the pattern doesn't look right, and that comb, I would almost think a cochin, but I know that's not right either

It's from tractor supply, y'all never know. does look odd.

Are you sure that's what his breed is? It has the wrong comb

The more I look into it I do think it is a Brahma. The birds I did find with feathered feet typically don’t have yellow toes (except Cochin) but I think the coloring, size, demeanor, lines up most with brahmas. I did a
Have another person comment on a previous post of mine (trying to decide if it was a Roo or pullet) and she said her dark Brahma Roo looked just like mine did coloring wise. So maybe it’s atypical coloring for brahmas but still a possibility?

Newbie to looking at combs. Mine is bottom right. I copied and included other dark Brahma rooster pics up close. I see it looks different from the top right one but I feel like when it’s older it could look like the top left one???

Oh, yeah, okay. I thought he had a single comb. The comb should look more correct as he gets older
