I was wondering, I have a brahma rooster in this color (the chick in the picture is not him it’s his sister) but he’s in same color as his sister.

I was wondering, I have a old pure white brahma hen and I really want a chick from her that looks like her, so far I have only gotten chicks that are white and black from my old rooster.

I’m going to change rooster this year because the old one is starting to be aggressive, what i’m thinking is if I would keep the rooster that is like the pullet in the picture in color would I have more chance of getting pure white chicks from my pure white old hen? Or would they be grey like the father?

This really depends on whether your hen is dominant white or recessive white. If she's recessive white, then the rooster would need to be recessive white or carrying recessive white to get white chicks.

If she's dominant white then, as the name implies, the white is dominant and most chicks will hatch white, with the possibility of some leakage like some black spots.

I'm not sure what your other rooster's color was, nor what pattern the black and white chicks were like, but if you were breeding her to another rooster and not getting white chicks, my guess is that she's recessive white.
