Hi, hubby asked me what this chicken is. I'm like, "I dunno; but I know where to go". What do you think she is, please?

To me she looks like a Brahma or a Brahma mix.

I'd dub it a Bald Eagle chicken, if there were such a thing.

I’m not an expert. But that looks like a Dark Brahma Cockrel

Whaattt. We did buy DBs on 8/29, so about 18 weeks. ??

Hubby says she/he looks like a hawk in the face; bwahhh haaaa!!!!

Most likely some type of mix, maybe a brahma mix. She does have a roostery thing about her, though I can't put my finger on it. But if she truly is 31 weeks, then there's no chance, or highly unlikely she's a rooster. As for a 18 week old, it's possible she's a rooster

Well, now there's that. This brings me to another thing. . . . that buncha chickens were purchased from a hatchery; namely Hoover (not TSC) and I expected them to have sent what I ordered: dark brahma, straight run, no chicken mixin'. Humph!

I recalculated all my broods and that one came up with 18 weeks (I am so math challenged).

Well, hatcheries guarantee breed, not necessarily quality. So it's possible you just ended up with a pure dark brahma, just not one of the best quality wise. And since you ordered straight run, it's a viable scenario

Honestly, same

Okie, thank you.
