Not that early.

You will have to wait a little bit until it starts to feather in. Males will feather in solid areas of black and white while the females will be have the silver penciled pattern.

Okay, I knew that, but I’ve heard the girls have different coloring on their heads as chicks and males are more solid. Just wondering if anyone knew. Thank you!

I heard that dark Brahmas in particular, are almost auto sexing by their coloring. Anyone else know of this?

You were told wrong. They are not auto sexing. However once they start getting their feathers in they are easy to sex due to the sexes being totally different patterns with dark brahmas.
