Hi Everyone, great to be on BYC site !!! Being the impatient person that I am my 8 week old Isabella Brahma chicks are confusing me !! Within 3 days of hatch one of the chicks sprouted tail feathers, I named her Bunty as I think I'm right in thinking she's a girl (she feathered up much quicker than the others) Another chick is very obviously a boy, Hercules. His comb is bright red, he's big (!!) and (in no way aggressive) is showing boy characteristics. The other 4 chicks are a mystery. They feathered up slowly (compared to Bunty) so I thought all male but they have pale combs ? Bunty's tail feathers are different to Hercules but the other 4 haven't got much tail feather plumage really. They are all very friendly and very beautiful. I know 8 weeks is still very young as Brahmas take an age to mature but I was just interested in peoples thoughts
