Backyard Brahmas!!

That looks like a white ameracauna. Brahmas don't have fluffy cheecks

I had a look at the google images of white ameracauno and mine are not anything like the pics I saw. I will try and get better pics tomorrow

Better pics would be great Benny. The angle isnt quite right to make out facial features well. Thanks

No particular reason at all for sharing this picture, except that it's one of my for-really Buff Brahmas and it's a cute shot! Looks like a model wearing a feather boa, strutting her stuff!

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?

I think you have girls there. Has the cochin crowed? If not I think she is a very pretty she. My cochin bantams could be told apart easily by 4 weeks. That comb does not worry me at all that it is a he.

Cute!! "For-really" Buff Brahmas?

Um, yeah. For-really Buff Brahmas. I was stoopid, I admit, but I'd wanted Buff Brahmas for such a long time. I stood in line for over 2 hours (after spending the previous day and following morning going in over and over to see if the announced chicks had arrived) to get my 3 Buff Brahmas. But the ones I got had no feathers on the legs. I asked the lady about that, but before she could even anwer me a gentleman who had been waiting as long as I had been tapped me on the shoulder and said that the Buffs tend to get their leg feathering in a little later. Okay, shoot me. I wanted them so badly I believed him, even when the little voice in my head said, "You dummy - you know better than that!" Um, yep. Posted pics on here and learned that I have 3 Rhode Island Reds - two of which are roos. So I lucked out and MPC had a few left. I bought them out.

So I'm a little overly-boastful about my 8 little beauties.

Edited to add: The whole sordid story begins on page 356.

This is what you type in: white ameraucana. Not ameracauno or what ever you did I think they look very much like yours. Here is a pic from google images.
