    Backyard Brahmas!!

    I am going to throw a wrench into this and complicate things! I hatched 11 brahmas and kept six and sold five.

    Brahma chicks feathering / Added update photos at 2 weeks old

    From my experience with Brahmas, pullets feather out faster. I would say the ones with the least feathers and no tails are the boys! You can also sex dark brahmas by their wing feather colours. The pullets have penciling and the boys are dark/black. Hope this helps
