Brahmas typically come in three varieties - light, dark and buff. The light Brahma is actually going to have the chick with the darkest down (in some cases) but it is going to appear a bit different than this.

This is most likely none of those, but instead a black Cochin. I'm sure somewhere someone is selling a Black Brahma, but it would probably have to be something you'd special order.

And too early to sex.

I agree it is more likely to be a Black Cochin. (At least in the USA, where Black Cochins are common but it is very rare to find any Brahma color other than Light, Dark, and Buff. The situation may be different in other countries.)


Brahmas have pea combs, Cochins have single combs. Sometimes the difference is clear even on a chick, but sometimes they have to grow a bit before you can tell.

Oh yeah, OP can you get pictures of the comb?

This little chick have pea comb.

Pea comb would mean it is not a Cochin, so probably a Black Brahma. They are not very common, but I think they do exist.

I think it is black rather than mottled, but sometimes they can be hard to tell apart at this age. It is common for black chicks to have a few white feathers in their wings as chicks, then grow solid black feathers as they get older.
