Buff brahma bantam

[Rhodebar Lover]

Ugh! What gives it away - the feathering at the shoulders? Something else?

The large comb and darker buff patches on arms. Definite cockerel traits

Strange because mine has absolutely no rooster traits. The 3 that I know are roosters are always at it. I’ve never seen my buff Brahma involved He/she is 9 weeks old now. Not home to take pictures. But I sit and watch them all the time and honestly is totally not like any rooster I’ve ever had.

AngieDawn your girl looks a lot like mine and someone in another forum pointed out that black feathering in the shoulder area is the sign of a roo. This is my first buff Brahma and she’s supposed to be a pullet, but I have no idea now! Mine at 8 weeks for comparison. Her comb/wattles are just starting to redden.View attachment 2181332

I asked and the consensus is pullet.

Now I don’t know what to think, lol. I’m holding out hope for a pullet.
I will say that my Brahma is not docile. She is the HBIC and challenges the other chickens (all Are 8 weeks) but that may just be pecking order stuff. She’ll happily sit on my lap but I would never refer to her as a gentle giant, unfortunately. She is beautiful, though!

This is how mine is looking two weeks later. 6.5 weeks old now. It wouldn't look at me, so I couldn't get great pics.
