2 Brahmas

[Shellyb615]

Can anyone tell me if I have 2 hens or if one of my Brahmas is a rooster? They look similar but the smaller Brahma has different tail feathers.

I'm sorry, I don't have the experience to tell the sexes of young chickens, but I have to say that your black chickens are not Brahmas. Brahmas have feathered feet and pea combs. Also, black is not one of the standard colors for Brahma.

This is my Light Brahma Rooster from the in-town flock:

And one of my Dark Brahma hens:

Thank you, someone else told me the same. TS sold them to me as Brahmas .

TS is famous for misidentifying chicks. The left pic is a female; the right, a male. They look like Black Australorps to me, unless I'm missing something. Very nice birds, ime.

TSC is so famous for selling the wrong chick. I supposedly bought white leghorns but got 3 bantams and a white leghorn. But anyway I agree with CindyinSD they look like black austalorps or Jersey giants, the one on the left is a hen and the one on the right is for sure a rooster

Both are cockerels, neither is a Brahma.

It's a shame that you didn't get your Brahmas because they are lovely chickens.
