He or she light Brahma

Congrats! I missed this thread when it came around the first time and thought she looked like a pullet... Poorly colored, but still pretty! She should be a late starter on laying, given that they aren't the greatest of layers to begin with. I love my brahmas though.

I have a light Brahma question. We started with 6 sexed day old light Brahmas Oct 18, 2018. 2 cockerels and 4 pullets. Everything was going great and one pullet all a sudden died at about 2 months old. About a month later another pullet at which time we figured out between slow growth and random diarrhea that they may have coccidiosis. We got them medicated and they were doing well until about a month ago a bantam roo jumped on another of the pullets and killed her. The last month has finally been going great, they seem to be growing better and have our grown most of our standard size flock, they are just completely non-aggressive. I’m curious if between the coccidiosis and have 2 Roos and 1 pullet left if it would cause one too to mature slower? He seems much more “girly” but was very obviously male as a young cockerel. I’ll try to attach some pictures of the bow 5 months old for reference. Thank you. The first pictures will be the group so you can see stance and tail carriage.

I’m also posting up close pictures of hackles, saddle feathers and combs. First the more mature looking roo, then the more girl roo, and then the hen. Thanks again
Pa it looks like the combs pictures uploaded weird. The very male roo has the big Watters and his pic is 2nd. 1st comb is girly boy, 3rd is the hen.
