It is a pullet. There are NO hackle/saddle feathers. Male Lights have saddle feathers with black striping.

I got yea. How old do they start showing those?? He's nice. Can I have him.

Any idea what a light/dark cross looks like?

Something on the order of this, I would expect.

The males of both my LF and bantams they feather in with these. It makes it possible to sex them early.

He was sort of a dud this year in the breeding department, so if you were closer, I would say yes. He is now in the layer/free ranger pen, and enjoying himself immensely with the LF hens.

OK I have to tell ya and ask WTHeck is up with this Mini Roo

I was given a chick about 3 weeks old last month he is now a little over 7 weeks
this little Light rooster is trying like heck to mount one of my Lf D Brahma Hens at least 6 times a day Patron even looks like he is laughing and the hen has this not again look on her face.
the funny part is he may weigh 2 pounds 3 soaking wet .

Now anyone wanna loan me a Video camera for Studly porn , I planned on just eating him since my love was and still is the D Brahmas but little studly is slowly stealing my heart . he was given to me with my show chick eggs Because he had more dark in him then the Breeder wont mention names did not want anyone seeing him at his place .

hes pretty cute so if anyone needs a studly chick LOL let me know i really do not think i can eat him now after he has made me laugh so much doing this

Beautiful pics ya'll. Newbie here to forum and to chickens.... Don't know how I got here or if I will find my way back. I'm completely lost in here. Was looking for answers on my daughters Brahma. She got a Brahma chick and 2 Pekin chicks as a gift from her big sister (without asking permission, mind you). They are 13 wks tomorrow. The chicken we were told was a hen but Im concerned its a Roo. I'm very confused. She/he looks like a hen and doesn't have spurs but I know I for sure, heard and saw her crow. She crowed for the first time on Fathers day ( what a day to crow eh?) then didn't crow at all for a couple days after that. Then yesterday I heard her crow again in the morning but not since then. I was told that its not uncommon for a hen to take up role of Rooster. For real? She always was kinda bossy and controlling over the ducks and I'm wondering if this is why. They're buddies and very close ones at that. Never separated for long since they go nuts if they cant see one another. Anyway... Is it true that she can be a hen but just acting like a roo?

I can live with that as an F1 light to dark, even if it is smutty.. Decided to pick up the light brahma's. will post pics and ya'll can critique. Just can't pass it up. Think I will be sorry if I do.

What color are these guys? They were all supposed to be darks but I'm thinking one of the lights might have slipped in there. These are from a breeder that has lights, darks, and buffs. Thanks!!

Very interesting. Could you keep us posted every month or so with grow up pics? Could also just be a spontanious mutation - and wouldn't that be cool - but then again, I am a genetics freek

OMG, how funny! Sounds like my Smarty Pants Rooster...he did the same thing...I thought he was a Hen myself, but at 10days showed he was wayyyyy bossy and nosey compared to the others..hope you find your way around. I haven't been here that long either, but it's fun! Stick around
