Backyard Brahmas!!

[21hens-incharge]

Yeah, the lighting wasn't the best for each shot...sun was running behind the clouds faster than I could click the shutter! The faces are the first thing I noticed. Two of the chicks have this kind of peach color and the other two are much redder.

Thanks for worrying about me! Warms the cockles of my heart!

Well as long as the cockles are all warm then everything is good. lol

I went and had a long look at my 9 week old Dark Brahmas and if the red in the face makes them a boy then I am in big trouble since everyone of mine is as red as yours if not redder. Dark Brahma feathering is super nice since the boys are totally different than the girls.
Mine would be the most feminine roosters out there if the red made them boys lol.

I agree with autumnhearth. The red in the face is very tricky at that age. I wouldn't get to disappointed yet.

Oh, goodie goodie! I'm still new enough at this chicken stuff to let posts get me confused sometimes.....you know, the old "red face and waddles showing early" routine. So I'll be content to wait a bit longer. Thanks, folks! And the Brahmas thank you too!

I need help sex-guessing.
I ordered all female bantam chicks from MyPetChicken and I'm 99% sure my mottled cochin is a boy. One of my brahmas combs is redder than the other two so I guess there is a possibility it could be a boy too. Her are some pics, tell me what you think.

Cockerel?

And this is a Pullet.

They are seven weeks old yesterday.

Here is the Cochin Cockerel, I'm sure is a boy

They were all supposed to be girls. It was a 90% or 98% sexing guarantee.
What do you guys think?

Looks like we are all guessing our 7 week olds. Brahmas and Cochins are both slow to develop and hard to sex. The comb on your Cochin doesn't concern me but those point looking feathers do. But I don't know much about Cochins. I think your Brahmas are pullets until proven guilty.

@Blooie I agree, hold onto hope for as long as you can, cry when you hear the crow haha.
This is the difference in my 2 and a big reason that I think I have a boy, (besides some chime in for the boy vote on here)

suspected boy on left girl on right ^ and below



size difference ^

Wattle difference ^
If "he" ends up a she I will happily dance.

Not as much before as I do now that I've seen these pictures of Molly with one of the LB!

Hi everyone I got a trio of Brahmas yesterday. I thought I was getting Light Brahmas but the farm I got them them from told me the

hen chicks are white Brahmas and this is a pic of one of the hen chicks.
