He looks like he might be crossed to me. His color really reminds me of an Easter-egger. He kind of has some lacing. He has way to much black for a light brahma, and looks to light for a dark brahma. He is pretty.
Yeah, he looks to me like a pure dark brahma - Just hatchery quality. Same with light brahmas, they have black pencilling. And buffs - they are more white than buff.
