Any guesses on gender? Buff Brahma and EE

[marycontrary14]

Hi everyone! I'm new to backyard chickens and have a Blue Maran and Bantam Cochin. LOVE my girls! I also have 4 chicks that are around 5-6 weeks old, two EE and two Buff Brahmas. I know it's fairly early to guess gender, but I'm so anxious for opinions! Hoping for some girls, but I have my boy suspicion.

All the babies:



EE #1



Buff Brahma #1 (where you can also see the top of EE#2 which I'm pretty sure is a girl.)



EE#2 (Sorry, she wouldn't stop moving) She is lighter than the other EE. No red in her comb.


EE#1



Buff Brahma #1 He/she has been quicker to feather than the other Brahma, but is getting red in his/her comb.




Buff Brahma #2 This one is lots slower getting his/her feathers in. No noticeable red in the comb yet.



EE#1


More of Buff Brahma #1

it's a little late to try this way, but sex them by their tail length both #2s look like females (because they were the only tails I could see well) the females have the larger tails at 2 weeks and the males have the shorter tails

Nothing screams rooster as of yet. Post again in another 2 weeks

Thank you both! I will post more pictures in two weeks! They are changing so fast at this point. Hoping next time, we will be able too tell for sure!

Here they are two weeks later! Now what do you think? They are about 7 weeks old now. I will not do their pictures in the same order as my original post only because after homeschooling all day, I don't have the organization in me.


Buff Brahma #1. Very slow to feather out. Comb is not terribly pink.










EE #1 I'm pretty sure this one is a pullet. What are your thoughts?







Buff Brahma #2 Quick to feather out. Has a bit of a pinker comb.









EE#2 (In the middle in first pic.) This stinker was a pain to get a picture of! LoL








I would appreciate any thoughts and opinions!
