Brahma chick identification

[BillieRae1202]

Hi! So from pictures I've seen online I'm pretty sure this is a brahma chick. But I just want to confirm with a few of you guys Also, is it supposed to look so scraggly? Lol. It's 5 weeks old today. Thanks!!

I would love to own one of these mine are all lights

It's definitely a cockerel. Totally okay and normal if Brahmas are scraggly, especially cockerels. They're very slow to mature Here's an example of one of my Partridge Brahma cockerels at six weeks even! Feathering in just takes a while

Update on the brahma chick at 6 weeks old. No sign of comb or wattle development so maybe I have a pullet? Also I read somewhere that only females would have the Patridge colored feathers. (Shown in first and last pic) Opinions please!

That's what I was going to say, I thought only females have that coloration but I also only have Pullets. 11 weeks old here.

However I do see some more red-ish brown on your bird's shoulder area and mine feathered out very quickly These are my first Dark Brahma so I am not expert.

He's definitely a cockerel He just happens to have a small comb and some leakage. I had Silver Pencilled Rock cockerels with the same brown color. If you need to rehome, I would do so now This variety is absolute when it comes to sexing by feathers

I thought Dark Brahma males were black with white on the tail eventually? Like I said I am NO expert, just what I googled when I first got my birds and was unsure they were even Brahmas, lol.

Gotcha, still super new to all this We'll keep him regardless since he's our only brahma! Too pretty to let go!
