Buff brahmas- how old and possibly gender??

[Long Days]

When I was in contact with the guy I got these two from he told me they were a month old. Obviously these chicks are older than a month lol I haven’t had brahmas before, do these two look as young as 8 weeks? More like 10? I know it’s hard to say and I may not get any better than a ballpark age, but figured it couldn’t hurt to see what some Brahma fans/owners might have to say! And feel free to offer gender predictions as well leg size is pretty much the same, similar personalities…in person the comb color so far is pink/orange. The one with the pea comb is getting a little darker orange, but still no red (yet). PS- I realize these are hatchery quality/possibly mixed due to the lack of leg feathering and the fact one has a single comb.

Looks like 10-12 weeks old, both appear to be pullets so far. Them seem to be very cleaned legged for brahmas so they might not be pure or not have the best lineage.

7-9 weeks. Pullets.

I would agree a mix or not the best lineage. Lots of black feathers through the body instead of just the neck and tail. And I don't see any feathers on their feet.

I couldn’t tell you age, but look like pullets.

They look like pullets to me. Their feet don't look like my brahmas feet though, no feathers at all. At least no feathers I can see.

No there’s feathers, not a lot, but they’re there I see them. Also I agree. I’d say pullets.

Yeah, they have a few small ones but nothing compared to brahmas I’ve seen. From what I’ve been reading a lot of people say, this can happen from hatchery quality birds or if they’re maybe mixed with a little something else. I love feathered feet but i don’t mind they aren’t. Our chickens are for eggs and fun

Both appear to be female and approximately 10 to 12 weeks of age I would guess.
