Hi guys! I have a flock of Standard Brahmas all hens, Stormy here was sent to me from a hatchery as a light brahma bantam. Do cockerels always feather this dark? Is this just because he's hatchery quality? I've never had a brahma bantam before and this will be my first rooster. There's not much...

Thank...
