I have light Brahmas so 5 weeks ago I picked up day old brahma pullets, 2 light 2 dark 2 buff. 1 of my lights is NOT A PULLET ill post a pic for giggles. My question is my 2 dark are starting to look different. I know roosters are mostly black no penciling however is that how the first feather off the bat? Mon pictured below has whiter feathers on her chest than Maleficent and I’m noticing mon is starting to get pink I’ll post pics of both....

Cool lol I know cockerels (for dark brahmas) look different than pullets but not sure if they started the same or not. Mon is just different all around....hardly a tail too :confused: couldn’t find any pics of them on google at this age so was hoping someone with experience might weigh in lol so perhaps she’s just different hehe
 
No question about him.
So I think both my buffs are cockerels and both my lights as well :( I just did a thorough look over...made daughter catch them they are getting long hackles, combs, and wattles :( in the past all the pullets have thin combs and cockerels develope the wide in your face I’m a boy comb... :(
