I was told their brooder was sexed hens. At the time i got them, a few weeks ago, one was a smidge bigger, i hesitated a second, them said nawww their sexed 🤣 within a week, one exploded in size, and all i can see is leg..... And im just going off of my buff brahma roo that i got last year at around 6weeks and of course took him forever to feather out but at 6 week it was clear he was a roo. This guy's im guessing about 4 weeks and also looks to have more down than other, idk. My worry is that the batch i got from same store a few weeks earlier light brahmas and RI reds, i clearly have a RI roo, and 1 of 3 light Brahmas may be a roo, only because one is much bigger but no legs so not sure, I'll probably post a few close ups of them.
Just asking for some opinions. Thanks

don't need comb pics. Male and female dark brahmas look completely different, like @Overo Mare said. These are pullets and can be only female.
Thank you. Any opinion on the attached lights?

I do not feel comfortable sexing off of these angles. They don't even have shoulder feathers in and the chest feathers aren't visible. The wing feathering can come in similar, regardless of gender. Those other key areas are what matter. These first wing feathers are not necessarily sexually dimorphic in partridge/pencilled chicks. Male vs female wing feathers in Partridge Brahmas (same "pattern," different color). They're virtually indistinguishable. OP, can you get some closer/clearer pictures of your chicks? :)
