Are these buff or light Brahmas? Gender?

[chickenbelle]

I know that these are brahmas. The lady I purchased them from was looking to get rid of them. She told me I could have both for the price of just one. They are beautiful birds, but very skittish. We have had them for 3 weeks. I believe that should make them about 6 weeks old now. I think these are the light brahmas? I have no idea if they are pullets or roos.


This is my stepdaughter's bird. The opera singer.

Here is the neck feathering of the above bird.

This is my son's chick. This one is a little calmer than the first but it isn't developing its feathers as quickly.

This is the face of my son's bird. Hardly any color to the comb and no wattles showing yet.

Is it still too early for any of you brahma experts to have a gender guess?

brahmas can be slow to mature but they are light brahmas

they are light brahmas. they are to young to sex right now wait till at least 6 weeks though 8 weeks is a bit better for sexing

Good to know that I should be seeing something definitive in a week or two. At 6 weeks now, I thought it would be a little easier than it is to tell. Thanks!

There've been brahma roos on here that we weren't sure even at 5-6 months. They're just a slower maturing breed.
