Silver laced brahma roo or hen?

[sigmachigirl]

She is about 8 weeks old or so, originally I thought she was just a plain dark brahma, and I was concerned about her coloration and thought she was a roo, so I contacted the breeder and found out her dad was a silver laced brahma and her mom a normal dark brahma. I have been watching her very closely the last few weeks, for feather shape. So far I'm not seeing any pointy saddle feathers, but what are your thoughts?

I've never heard of a Silver Laced Brahma but she looks like a girl.

Even though the feathers by her tail look pointy, they are quite round, it's just the colors that make them look so pointy.

First reaction is a pullet, but I don't know that I would call her silver laced, she will likely be a mix of both patterns.

Thanks guys, that actually makes me feel better. Here's a link to some silver laced. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/330017/12-silver-laced-brahma-project-eggs-npip

It was the breeder 's first attempt at using her rooster. I'm so curious what she'll end up looking like!!

Well, she hasn't changed her coloration a whole lot. Still don't see any saddle feathers appearing. She is about 15 weeks old. I was off by a few weeks before. She is getting some lovely sheen to bits of her feathers, which the breeder seemed to think was okay. Still hoping she is a she. She is so pretty.
