What color of brahma are they considered to be? They are the same age. In the pictures together I am assuming the female left male right? I better have a roo, I purposely picked the most rooish looking chick.....

They look to be Buff Brahmas

I would guess they are both Roos.

I have about 20 or so right now and can say those are roos. The roos out grow the hens rather quickly.

I agree they do look like they are buff colored and the first might be a roo. Second is a roo. If it makes you feel better, I am having the devil of a time sexing my brahmas as well. I stare at their combs and some of them are really obvious (all boys of course) but the "iffy" ones I can't conculsively call girls yet either. In my group I didn't have any feather faster or slower (well except my buff runt who looks like s/he is only two weeks old instead of four). If I go with the theory that pullets feather out faster than cocks in this breed then I either have all girls or all boys.

With my luck, 10 of the 11 chicks I hatched will be boys.

Buff brahma's and both boys.

If I started my own thread on my chicks could I get opinions from you Happy Chooks and chickened? I don't want to hijack this thread but I am dying to know about mine too. I am just not good at this with the pea combs.

I was wondering if they were both boys or not. When I got them, the one on the left had two rows of feathers where as the one on the right had only one. The right chicken was a bit taller and the left was a bit fatter. They both have heavy legs but the right ones are a bit longer and heavier. My other notice was the tail feathers. The picture isn't the best as the left chicken would not behave. Generally it's tail feathers point out where as the right ones tail feathers flop down and is much bigger-amusingly though the left chicken started getting feathers long before the right chicken, then it seemed almost like over night the right chicken passed him. The both do look more rooish than many of my others of different breeds, but right just looked more masculine than left. I guess time will tell with it. I am so impatient!!!
