Is it possible?

[GreenGoddess]

Ok.. I have a chick that I am REALLY hoping is a female.. It's only a few days old and follows me everywhere when I take it outside.. I cannot find ANY chicks that look like this on here or anywhere on the internet so maybe someone here can help me.. Ok.. Mom is a silver ameraucana and dad is dark brahma bantam.. NEITHER breeds look like this when they are chicks.. So, here are my questions... Does ANYONE have a pic of what this chick will look like when it is older and is there ANY way to feather sex it? It does have long and short pin feathers so IF it can be feather sexed, it's a female.. But, I can't seem to find any information on the internet with a list of slow and fast feathering breeds so I don't know if it's possible to tell that way.. Ok.. Here's the pics!

Looks like it's going to be black. I know it has white but my black chicks start out that way too. It could have some other color leakeage once it starts really feathering in though.

I have no idea what she will look like, but she looks very cute right now.

Yeah, I know how to feather sex but it only works if they are bred with one slow feathering parent and one fast feathering parent.. Unfortunately, i don't know what breeds are fast and slow.. I haven't been able to find out.. Wings show she is definitely a she! Does anyone have a list of fast and slow feathering breeds? Most only say fast or slow maturing but nothing about feathering... I've searched the internet endlessly...

I'd think that a fast maturing bird would also feather in faster, slower maturing birds would feather in slower? I'm not positive, but at least it sounds good

I would think so too but I'm definitely far from an expert when it comes to sexing chicks..

If that is the case then it don't help me because both breeds are slow maturing..
