Brahma bantam

[CCUK]

My wife was just scanning through Facebook and someone was selling some Brahma bantams. I've never seen any like this and think they look really nice. They are advertised as dark Brahma bantams. Is this a correct description? They look black laced to me.

Sorry about the picture quality I had to take a photo of the page!

That is indeed a dark Brahma bantam!

They are pencilled rather than laced.
I love my giant dark brahmas.

Yep, that's a Dark Brahma female. Males are a different pattern.

Thanks! I've never seen one like that and I didn't even know you could get Brahmas in bantams! She does look lovely!

Agree, that's a dark brahma, hen. The males and females have sexually dimorphic color patterns.

I just looked at pics of the dark Brahma male, wow! They're stunning. So much different from the hens. If I gain any space I may be looking for some!

Beautiful dark brahma. Yes the colour is silver penciled (silver version of partridge, which is gold)
