Slow feathering, different than the others

[Its_Julia_Chicken]

hello! I got 4 chicks when they were 2 weeks old from a local feed supply store. They were the last 4 "Easter eggers" (that's what the guy referred to them as). They're about 6 or 7 weeks now. Two are a buff color 1 is dark brown and then there is this one. It is light colored with some darker feathers. It has wing feathers but the body and head still have baby feathers/fluff. There others are already fully feathered. This one has feathered feet , the others don't.

The chick in question is a buff brahma. Also, I only see one EE in these pictures.

I agree. Oddly enough, the Buff Brahma also seems to be developing a single comb. It reminds me of my poor naked Cheeto at that age!

The buff chick appears to be either a Buff Rock or Buff Orpington with improperly colored legs

Not sure if you can keep roosters where you're at, but I will say I absolutely adored the rooster Cheeto grew up to be. He absolutely hated men but beyond that he was so vocal and friendly and would follow me around everywhere. Hopefully if yours is indeed a boy, he'll wind up with a great personality as well!

Unfortunately I live in the city limits. I hope i don't have to re-home.

Do Brahma chickens (hens & roos) really get as big as Google shows pictures of? Or is there a "giant" brahma?
