Light Brahma?

[drumstick diva]

Plus even a LF cochin, is not a suitable substitute for a BIG Brahma. I am really getting to hate hatcheries and feed stores. Beautiful chick though, can't make out what type of comb it has. Could you see a close up from the front?

It looks to me like a very poorly colored LB. It shouldn't have so much black, and it should have yellow legs. If it does indeed have a pea comb, then that's what I'm going with.
If it is a LB, as she came from a hatchery, I would expect better than the brahma average on egg laying, and not as large as what they say for brahmas. My hatchery bred LB is the lightest of my three brahmas, and she's about the same size as my SS.

Looks like a hatchery quailty Light Brahma.

I’m confused. My light Brahma chicks are yellow.

I’m confused. My light Brahma chicks are yellow.

Where did you get them?

 

[Frazzemrat1]

I’m confused. My light Brahma chicks are yellow.

So was mine. I've seen them several ways on here.

 

[Crazy for Chickens!]

Nope. Light Brahma.
Cochins have single combs, and yellow legs.
This bird has a pea comb, and pink legs.

Most likely a hatchery quality Light Brahma. Leg color is off, but the pea comb definitely confirms it.

I ordered a Dark Brahma from Meyer, hatch date May 7, and this is the Dark Brahma's picture at 6-1/2 weeks. I ordered a Light Brahma from Meyer in 2015 - let me dig up a picture of her at around the same age, if I have one. She did not look like your chick.

OK, Jessica was my Light Brahma from Meyer 3 years ago - a wonderful bird! - and here's pictures of her around the same ages that you have posted of your Meyer chick. The final one is of her as a laying hen. My great experience with her -- disposition, looks, even egg production (small eggs but frequent) -- is what led me to order a Dark Brahma from Meyer this year. Maybe Meyer owes you a refund for not sending you the breed you requested.
