Here is some pics of my flock. They were supposed to be all pullets except for 1 Dark Brahma. They're 8 weeks old in these pics.

I'd keep an eye on that red one in the last pic. The  comb looks a bit red for 8 weeks. Other than that, and the dark Brahma cockerel, the rest look like pullets. smile

Agreed, the brahma is definitly a roo because of the solid back chest.  And a side pic of the red one would help.

Your Buff Brahmas look great for it's age, I have 3 months old girls and they do not have great feathers like yours.. All my chicks do is eat each others feathers...

You def have a dark Brahma pullet and cockerel, the others do look like pullets to me.

Thank you so much. This is our first go at chicken raising. We feed them Start n Grow Crumble Sunfresh Recipe by Purina, scratch grains by Purina as a treat, meal worms, potato bread once in a blue moon and LOTS of insects that the kids dig up lol.

I forgot to mention they are all named and spoiled rotten by my wife who was totally against getting chickens, and my 2 kids lol
