I'm glad you joined our "flock!"

Usually, Brahmas start out with feathered legs. Your chick could be another columbian/light patterned breed, like the Columbian Wyandotte, Light Sussex, or Columbian Plymouth Rock instead.

No sorry that Brahma will be clean legged indicating that it's not a pure breed, did you get it from a hatchery?

 

[Chickenboyblues]

I got them from rural king I called them and they said they have seen some the feathers come in later on

 

[XxMingirlxX]

Nope, if they don't have them as a chick they won't get them later, sorry but I might be wrong.

You are correct.

I suspect that's not a Brahma.

I figured it was a hatchery bird, although a lot of hatchery breeds (that may be purebred) are just very poor examples of the breed. Like in dogs you can get a lot of faults in the puppies but the puppy mill or pet shop will still say they are purebred. They probably came from parents that didn't look much like the breed either.

If you like her anyway - that's good. They don't have to be show birds to be good layers.
