Dark Brahma: Hen or Roo?

[Frazzemrat1]

Good deal; that’s what we were were hoping. The second dark Brahma is much smaller with similar markings but much more aggressive towards us and the other chicks...thought he might be a rooster because of the “attitude” but the coloring is the same.

if the coloring is the same, then their both pullets. Males come in black and white, without the partridge color theme... So if the other one looks like this one, then she's a pullet as well.

Here’s Bug, the smaller more aggressive one...What do you think?

Pullet! For reference, I’ve included pics of our dark brahma roo and one of our pullets. Both hatched 10 March, so 6+ weeks old today. Pullet is roosting on the branch, roo is walking.

Yes! She's a pullet too

Well I guess we have two Brahma girls. Thank you! Bug, the small one was overly aggressive towards us at 4 weeks when we added a dozen chicks to the mix. She left the other four older (4 week) chicks and wouldn’t leave the day old chicks. If we reached over to grab a chick she would immediately attack and peck our hand. She no longer does this; maybe she is just an overly protective mother!
