Breed of this hen?

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

I have 3 hens that look just like this one, I'm pretty sure they are a Dark Brahma mix, but I'd like your opinion.

Thanks.

Looks like a Pure Dark Brahma to me. What makes you say a Mix?

 

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

Because I have a Dark Brahma bantam hen from Murry Mrmurry Hatchery and she doesn't look a thing like them!
This is her: ( If you need pictures of the other hens, just let me know, K? )

She looks Dark Brahma-y to me. How old is she? I think the DBs are pretty!

ETA - Can't see the bantam pic very well, but I think the original girl looks right. Is the 1st hen a bantam also?

She may be a LightxDark Brahma mix. That's the only thing I can think of

 

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

She could be a light Brahma X Dark Brahma, because I have a Light Brahma bantam hen. But I wonder why she is so much more "Silver" then the other one??? Yes, all of them are bantams.

Sorry about the pic, it was kind of blurry so I didn't do it any bigger. And I don't think I have a resent pic of her. Sorry! The second DB is probably about a year old in the picture, but she is probably like 2 or 3 now. ( Talking about the second pic! )

Could be a pure DB with a lot of white in the pencilling. Colors can vary, especially from hatchery stock.

Agree. I have really seen differences in color when I breed my hatchery stock, but I don't have any Brahmas.

I agree.

So she's a Dark Brahma?
