Brabanter Chicks--are there gender clues in the feather colors?

Brabanters are hard to sex. You just have to wait for the combs to start developing.

May I ask where you got your Brabanters? There's a person on Ebay, NOT WindyIslandPeeps, who lets her cream and gold Brabanters run together. Her chicks could be cream, gold, or mixes. That would account for different coloration.

PS. There is now a Brabanter page on Facebook.

what's the FB page called? We are thinking of getting brabanters :)

Oh thanks! Gender has actually already revealed itself--those boys are crowing away and have bright red combs and flashy saddle feathers :) The picture I posted today was an update--I'm just hoping that pullet keeps her tail markings.

Can you share photos of the cockerels? I got 7 (4 cream and 3 golden) Brabanter chicks from Ideal Poultry purchased as pullets but 1 was an obvious cockerel, thankfully I was able to sell him with one of the pullets. I thought the other 6 were pulleys, but now at 6 weeks another 1 appears to be a cockerel, as he's developing a red comb. Do the pullets also develop a noticeable comb?
