Hey guys! New to the site so I dont know if I'm doing this right lol
But I have 3 Dark Brahma they will be 6 weeks on Wednsday n i know they are supposed to be hard to sex this young but I've been researching n researching n I'm so confused on these birds because I've seen none with metallic on there wings. Can anyone guess or has raised them know if mine are female or male? I know 2 will be the same n 1 is different.
I appreciate any help!
Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by 'metalic'. Do you mean the green sheen? all birds do that, on their dark feathers.
Dark brahmas are sexually dimorphic, meaning males and females don't look the same. I agree that all three look like cockerels. Here's my dark brahma when she was a pullet at 4 weeks. Notice how she has partridge coloring, but its all shades of brown, no white, no actual black. The males will color out as black and white. Here's my pullet, and then here's a couple pics showing the difference between male and female dark brahmas.
