okay she's looking more like a he???? need help!!!!!!!!

[nkcsweetie]

this is my dark brahma "oreo" and at first she had beautiful penciling, but now she's about 8/9 weeks old and some of her feathers are getting like a green color to them and less penciling....please help I can't have a rooster and need to know if this is one...she's agressive toward the other chicks, but not bad, just some pecking order.....again if anyone can help with is that would be great...thanks

maybe she's mixed with something...?? hoping it's a pullet since my daughter has grown attached to her....any thoughts???

The redness in the face says boy to me. Plus it has those green shiny feathers that generally only males have.

It is odd colored. Was her tail slow coming in? It looks a little short/stubby and that is a cockerel trait. She is looking manly but I wouldn't get rid of her just yet but, I would start preparing your daughter for the possibility.

Some birds don't follow the rules....like this one:

yeah, her tail is short and stubby....hasn't fully grown in just yet.....she's picks on my red sex links , so i've had a feeling this might be a male...the coloring is just weird to me....
