Is this chick a Brahma?

[pony007]

So i just got my first ever order of chicks about 1.5 weeks ago from Myers hatchery. Everythings going great, all are happy and friendly. I ordered buff and light brahmas and for the most part they're pretty easy to tell apart but theres 1 chick that just doesnt look like anybody else. Is this guy a light brahma?

Looks like it will be blue

Oh, and welcome to BYC!

Thanks Oh that would be really neat if it was a blue! I didn't know they came in that color. What color parents make a blue chick? Is it a variation of light? I'm a complete chicken noob

If this one is a blue brahma, and I am not 100% sure it is, it will look like this as an adult.
Here also basic Blue/Black/Splash chicken color genetics. We were all chicken noobs at one time, everyone has to start somewhere!

Just checked Myer, they do not carry blue brahma, so probably a dark brahma. They are pretty, too! The chicks look much more brown as far as I can tell, I guess you will know when this little one feathers out.
