Brahma Thread

[gritsar]

Salem, first off MM. I was questioning the sex of your little chick when I first saw his/her pics on your other thread.
The feathering says pullet, but lack of feathering over the wing bows and elsewhere screams cockerel.
In another week or so, it should become obvious. If you can post new pics then I'll be glad to take a shot at it.
BB, Kat

MM, Kat!
And thanks - I will post photos of Hobbit again in a week or so... any particular angle shot you need to see?

The angles you had in the last pics were fine. The dark brahmas are the only ones of the three - light, dark and buff - where the cockerel has different color feathering; solid black on the body with the white chest. That early though I still get fooled. Something about that chick is telling me roo, so.....

I am going to go with pullet. The head shape is different with the pullets and roos and this one looks more like my only hen, and the roos are a lot more red with the light brahmas. I'm guessing that is similar here. But yeah, new pics in a week or so would help in determining the sex.

Here are my new babies- I think one is from Seriousbill's eggs, and 3 are from Uglyducky. They are SO sweet, they love to be cuddled- even by my kids.

Ok here are my two bantams. One is feathering different on the wings. I didn't know what they were when I got them and thought they might be different breeds. What do you think? Are these two hen and roo?

Here's my newest addition to the flock; Thorne, my Blue Columbian (I think). I haven't had him long, but I just adore him.
