Dark brahma roo or hen?

I vote cockerel. Dark Brahma hens shouldn't really have that much white on their wings.

That is what I'm afraid of too... :-(.

I wouldn't give up just yet, I'd still give a couple more weeks to confirm for sure personally

Thanks. Hoping she is a she. She's a pretty and funny little thing. I've noticed a few times the other chicks settle in below her wings. It's very sweet. I guess I will be on the lookout for greenish tail feathers.

If that's a pullet, it's probably not a Dark Brahma, If that's a Dark Brahma, it's probably not a pullet.

That was my fear, the breeder thought it was a pullet.. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled.

Okay, I have a bit more information about Abigail's coloration. Her father was a silver laced Brahma, and her mom a regular dark. Her coloration has changed a bit since I took pics last. From pics I've seen of silver laced brahma hens, her coloration looks a lot more normal. I will see if I can get a few more pics tomorrow. Her tail is also such a cute little fluff. Hoping she is not a he!!
