13 Light Brahmas - how do you gender? - new pics of about half of them

[Must Be Losing It]

Okay, it was tough but here are pics of six of the Brahmas. I'll be darned if I can tell the difference other than the fact that two of the 13 are much bigger than the others.

Brahma 1

Brahma 2

Brahma 3

Brahma 4

Brahma 5

Brahma 6


I have pics of the 7 others, but honestly they're so tough to tell apart.

They are cuties! I see what you mean about the tail, I don't know what it means though, theres nothing else there to suggest a roo......

1 & 3 look like roos to me... bigger comb and wattles, though they're still small yet. We should have specified a head-shot from the side so we can compare combs and wattles.

Sorry...

Number 4 might be a roo because of how the feathers on the wing bows are coming in.

#1 and #3 look a little roo-ish to me too.
Maybe this pic will help? The chicks were five weeks old at the time - roo on the right.

Is it possible that #5 is already getting sickle feathers in its tail? If so, roo...

I missed that the first time I looked! You're right! #4 is a definite maybe.

Did you order them as straight-run or as sexed pullets?

so I'm hearing a lot of definate maybes! So you see my dilemma. No. 4 for whatever reason is developing really slowly. His feathering across his shoulders if really, really late in coming in compared to the others.

So I'm guessing theire all roos and in a few months I have to have a huge chicken fry.

I hatched the eggs that I bought on ebay.
