De uccles or Brahmas?

[sfroelick23]

Curious if these little ones are bantam Brahmas or de uccles…. Or neither for that matter

Any guesses on hen or Roos? I know it’s very early just curious and excited for our new littles

It's a d'Uccle. Much, much too young to sex

Ty! I was hoping D’Uccle! Then saw a buff Brahma chick and thought they looked very similar. Can you please tell me how you know it’s one and not the other so I can spot differences going forward ?

Just looks like a D Uccle to me but in the 3rd pic you can see fluffy cheeks.... that's a beard that D Uccles have.

Agreed. They also appear to have single combs! Brahma pea combs are pretty smooth at that age!

One thing that I only learned this year after over 22 years of keeping chickens , from reading BYC, is that d’Uccles have slate legs. It didn’t occur to me that they don’t have yellow like Brahmas do.
