3 week old Brahmas- pullets feather faster? PICS ADDED

My light Brahma chicks weren't yellow, which I've since learned is the preferred. They looked like this when I got them:


The little gray one in front looking forward and the one behind him.

Interesting! The darker chicks are preferred? Or the yellow? That is very interesting that they come in two colors.

I didn't word that very well, did I? If I understand correctly, the yellow chicks trend to grow up with that Columbian pattern more well defined than the darker chicks. If I'm incorrect I hope somebody will chime in.

You worded it just fine! I think it was my brain not processing it. That is very interesting information about the chicks. I had no idea! You learn something new every day. Thanks for sharing that!

Adding some newer pics they still look very different with their feathering and one comb is more developed than the other

Brahma #1 has a lot more feather and advanced comb

I have buff brahma chicks. They come in at least three colors. Would love to see what yours look like now.

Here's a more recent pic of the newbies. I don't have one on here of just the brahmas. One is still less fluffy than the other and has a smaller comb but I don't see any pointed saddle feathers so still unsure of sex. Suspected too also still absolutely hats being handled and is the most feisty. They're 7.5 weeks now.
