Definitely have to agree with everyone else. On the bright side, brahmas (in my experience) are super friendly and lay really well!

Light Brahma, or a LB cross..

Light Brahma, it is unusual for feed stores to have crosses, other than for meat or eggs, since they have hatchery birds

Just realized I never followed up. She is 23 weeks old now, and looks just like a bantam version of a light brahma! Is that a thing? I'll post a pic tomorrow.

She's the shyest of the flock, hard to get a good pic, but here are a few that show her size in relation to the other two ladies (all 23wks old.)

Yes, there are bantam versions of all the Brahma varieties, though the dark Brahma bantams are harder to find.

We posted at the same time. Yes it does look like a Light Brahma bantam. Nice!

So funny, the feed store thought they were selling me a Silkie! Well, this gal is great. Glad to know what she actually is
