Light Brahma gender, 8 weeks old

clickdb · Sep 21, 2015

Can anyone take a guess as to the gender of these 8week old light brahmas? I am certain that the first one is a cockerel, but the other two I'm not sure of. I keep reading on here how hard it is to sex brahmas so I wanted a second opinion. I really hope the aren't all boys.
#1 definitely a cockerel

Check the hackle and tail feather's tips. Boys have pointy tips girls have blunt/round tips.

They all look like cockerels to me, too.

Thanks everyone. I suspect the same, but I had hoped the two with smaller combs still had a chance to stick around. All 4 chicks I bought that day ended up being boys lol.

they all ended up being cockerels, as suspected. I'm a little sad I won't have brahmas in my laying flock, but there's always next year lol.

Thanks for the update! I'm sorry you didn't get any pullets.
