So I got a duck and two brahmas a couple weeks ago, and I have no idea what sex any of them are. I'm hoping one of the chicks is a rooster. The only thing I've been able to find online is that with brahmas, the female usually feathers faster. Can anyone verify that?

They're only 5 or 6 weeks old, and don't even have Combs started really, so I know it's probably too early, but still fun to guess...
 
Could you post pictures? Usually hens have patterned feathers and roosters have solid colors. If there is no comb at 5 - 6 weeks I would assume a pullet but please send some photos! :)

Well, based on that I think I have two pullets :/ I'll post a pic this afternoon. One is feathering out more slowly, but they both have that speckled/striped pattern.
