Light Brahma Chicks - 9 weeks

[Wynette]

They look like roos to me, too; good luck rehoming - hope you can get them placed quickly! (You may want to check that leg band, also...it looks like it might be a bit too tight?)

I also bought "Light" Brahmas on eBay. What I received, I think, was a mix. They have a lot of black on them just like yours but not enough to be dark Brahmas. Some have very little feathering on the feet and legs. If they came from the same eBayer, I would guess a mix between a light Brahma and some other breed or a very poor quality light Brahma. (The black ones are Jersey Giants.)

It just looked that way but I took it off. My feedstore takes roos in on trade so I will most likely take them there since I cant say what they are for certainty.

Yours look like Light Brahmas, just poor quality.

My light brahmas looked like this, I think you have dark brahmas?

Now he looks like this.

Glad to find out they are dark brahmas. I have one, also, just a little older than the one in bleu chick's picture, but I couldn't figure out what it was because it's not in the Murray McMurray catalog (which is where the herd came from). I saw the feathersite photo earlier today and thought it must be a dark brahma rooster judging from their photos, but it looks more like bleu chick's.

Bleu chick, whatever you have, I have, too, and we're both wondering why we have them!

I'm going to agree. They are not full lights and not full darks. I'd say a mix of the two. Too much dark to be lights, not enough dark to be darks.
I'm also not quite sure they are both cockerels either. My roos (a light and a dark) had more comb, more wattles at that age.

Is this a light Brahma? And can you tell if it is a roo or a hen?
Do there feathers take longer to come in because oneof mine still looks like the feathers on her wings are just not right?
thanks!
Jen

this is the other one i have that the feathers are looking weird. also hen or roo?

I have a chicken that resembles the pictures shown here as light brahma. Of course I can not say with any certainty that it is in fact a LB other than it appearance. 5 weeks old today, I think it's a pullet, she sure is a big heavy girl.

Yes, they are light brahmas.
The one feathering slower across the wing bows, the "shoulders" is most likely your cockerel.
