I have a 6 month-old Buff Brahma cockerel that has been an “odd” chick. He has always appeared healthy and active, but seemed to take forever to grow and catch up to other chicks his age. He still doesn’t have his full adult feathers and still looks a bit “shaggy,” but his adult feathers look good as they come in. No, he doesn’t appear to have any health/skin problems, just seems slow to develop. I have 3 BB pullets that are 2-3 weeks older than him and their feathers are beautiful and sleek and have been that way for quite some time.
In addition, he should be crowing by now, but he doesn’t. Instead, he honks, almost like a goose. I’ve never had Buff Brahmas before and am wondering if this honking is normal or will it eventually grow into a crow?
