This is one of my dark brahma babies its 6.5 weeks old. They are supposed to all be pullets, but this guy has a little different coloring than the rest. The otheres all have a lot of the pattern all over, whereas this one has a fair bit of plain black or partially plain black feathers. I know the boys are supposed to look different, but im not sure just how different they're supposer to be this age.

That's a pullet. They're sexually dimorphic so the cockerels and pullets look completely different. They get those different colors from their first feathers, so if this was a cockerel, you'd know already.
