Another one for them sexing specialists 😜

Hello again as we all know by now a newbie BYC member here wanting some advice, I was told when I got them the chicks were a Hen and a cockerel. I would like advice confirming the like. They are between around 6 weeks old
I was told this is the Hen

It's too early for these guys. Nice looking brahmas though :D
No kidding. The feathered shanks are incredibly full for a little one.

Wing sexing is not very reliable, and can only be done within a few days of hatch, when the feathers are just coming in.

If I had to guess here, I'd say both are cockerels. Def too early for a definitive answer, but I'd lean that way.

Again, beautiful birds.

Agreed, if I was held at gunpoint I'd say cockerels, but nothing is set in stone yet. And yes, they seem good quality. If you dont want the extra cockerel OP, I'll take him! :D
 
Wing sexing works for certain breeds and within a 3 day window from hatch, from what I recall. They sure are feathered, did you get the from a hatchery or breeder? Love their coloring ... Oh, too early to tell, repost pics at 6 - 8wks

I'm sure you might be a teeny bit of a distance if they both turn out to be cockerels I'm kinda hoping for a pair as they are from different parents I was very happy with the quality of chicks when I purchased these 2 the gentleman who breeds them is very proud of what he does
