Anyone want to play a game of Henny or Roo with this 7 week old Buff Brahma? We’ve been calling ‘him’ Sylvester, but I have never raised Brahmas before this year. I have no clue what I’ve got.
The general opinion of the FB group I’m on is that she is a Sylvia and not a Sylvester. Despite the upright posture. I was schooled in how Brahma males get very red faced very early on, with a big red comb.
I was guessing rooster, too, but am glad to know she’s probably a hen.
Sorry, I forgot to comment on this! That’s interesting, I was going to say it’s a hard call, but I’m slightly leaning towards roo, mainly because I would expect a little more feathering on the back and wings of a female, but that’s going off other breeds and I’m really not familiar with Brahmas. Hope it is a she then!
The Brahma owners on a Facebook group I’m in have all said, unanimously, hen. I was leaning (obvious by the name) towards rooster, but I’ve decided to go with their wisdom.
Looks like a roo to me, but could be wrong. It’s just so upright! Awfully cute though 🙂

Looks like a roo to me, could be wrong though – just awfully upright. Regardless, they are sooo cute! I want a Brahma so badly.
