Hi! ☺️ Recently I purchased 5 Brahma chicks that were sold to me as females but I have my serious doubts on 2 of them :/ They are in gold partridge and one is a mix with salmon and buff if I’m not mistaken. I was wondering if anyone could help me just to be sure before I ask the seller 🙌🏼
They are about 5/6 weeks!
Any help would be appreciated!!

I’m going with cockerels for the chick in the first photo and the partridge you have circled. The white (first chick) might need a bit more time to say for certain, but I’m leaning cockerel.

I’d be very surprised if the partridge chick is a pullet

Thank u ☺️ that’s what I was thinking also because if I go look at the pattern he/she has is complety different from the sisters …
 
white is looking more female to me. it has a shorter tail than the assumed male, which is a decent indicator of difference in genders.
 
That first image of a white chick looks male. The comb is already turning pink and it doesn't even have the majority of feathers in yet.

I can't see enough of the brown one to be certain but the front view makes the patterning look pretty splotchy and I don't see any patterning in the leg feathers. That would suggest male as well. A profile view in light that's not red would help verify.
 
Those two do look to be cockerels at this stage, but the breeder is probably gonna want them to look more definitely male before exchanging. Maybe not. I'd ask.

The brown chick looks like either a light crossed with partridge or a buff crossed with dark or partridge.
 
Did they make any guarantees on them being pullets? I feel like when you buy from a backyard breeder, you should expect they are straight run if they are just a couple weeks old. They may have given it their best guess but unless they have someone who can vent sex available to them, it is just a guess before the male signs begin to show.
