Soooo.... our 8 week old Buff Brahma, Daryl Chixon (she’s a girl with a boys name 🤷🏻‍♀️) has FINALLY feathered out 99.9%. She was the last one to lose all of her floof, but she still has a little nub for tail feathers. We have another Buff Brahma that’s the same age as her that I can compare her to. I know every chicken won’t look EXACTLY alike... what do y’all think?🤔

Are you sure thats a pullet?
Could you get a pic of the head?

I mean, she looks like a pullet to me? But This is also my first time having chickens. My husband & I both agreed on how she carries herself kind of like a rooster. The way she walks, way she looks.

It looks like a cockerel to me. Buff Brahmas have small rose combs so it'd be hard to tell from just the comb. Usually males fall behind when growing feathers.

Well, this one has definitely been slow-growing feather wise. There is still floof under the feathers while the rest of them are fully feathered. The comb is pink But I’ll keep an eye on it.

Right?? The stance throws me off so much. Like she is just different looking all-together compared to the others & definitely the other Buff Brahma that i purchased at the same place at the same time. I will deff get more pics in a couple weeks.
