I have 5 bantam buff brahmas who are now 5 weeks old. I have 2 obvious roos -- big red combs; one who I'm pretty sure is a hen; and 2 mysteries. Is it typical for hens to have some pink in their combs at this age? My 2 mysteries definitely don't have the size or the redness of the obvious boys, but they do have some pink in the upper parts of their combs. Their combs are narrower, though. I had trouble getting pics of everyone, but here's what I do have:
Obvious roo
Roo on right, ?? on left (some pink in comb)
Group shot! "Obvious" roo top right; any guesses on the others? (Far left is my MF D'uccle hen, not a brahma)
