very cute! I've been putting mine outside, they are just 37days old, and I give them a fenced in area and the others check them out and go along there way. It's just been this week. Hopefully I can integrate them soon.

Picked up this standard buff today, hoping for a little girl

She's CUTE!!! One thing, does she stand normally or was she just resting for this pic? Spraddled babies tend to sit like this.

She was a little tired, she usually stands normally.

How old to sex Light Brahmas? Mine are 39 days. What are the signs or markings. One is growing much faster with thicker legs. The other one is lighter in weight but has a really long tail. They both have reddish comb colors and black in their beaks...

First two pics look like pullet on the left and cockerel on the right....

My brahmas are two weeks old (almost) and my friend gave me some pointers on how to tell the gender: The males, at least at this age, have more feathers on their feet. When I looked at mine, six of the fifteen had definitely more feathery legs, and some extra feathers starting on their thigh area (knees?). There is a definite difference. The males look like they have boots and are kind of ungainly at this point!
