I spy TWO roosters in my brooder . . .

Thanks to yaw'll I believe I identified two. Yippeee! Both dark brahmas though. I do hope the others have a roo or two though. They are welsummer, maran, and dixie rainbow. Their combs are tiny (for now) though. My babies are now two.5 weeks old.

The black one in the second and third pictures is definitely a cockerel. He's not a dark Brahma. Maybe Marans or Langshan.

Cool beans; not a Langshan as they weren't purchased. I need to get more up close, better photos. A work in progress. I am obsessed with finding out who's a boy.

Most aren't that obvious so early! That one has a whopping big comb for such a little guy.

That's what I thought. Just tried to get more pics. Afraid they aren't much better. Perhaps when I get them outside in coop.

Two black ones have the comb. One is real larger than the other. Hmm, so Maran, huh. I really thought they were the dark brahmas. Well, if all my brahmas are gals that's cool too. Just double-checked my order the unsexed chicks were Brahma and Maran. Do they look alike as chicks or something? Lemme look some up and see. I think BOTH have feathered leg/feet.

Dark Brahmas wouldn't feather out all black like that. The hatcheries could have substituted other breeds or if you got them at TSC they mix and match all the time.

Oh, okay. Got 'em from Hoover.

They'd also have pea combs, not single.

I'd just like to know which (if any) of my babies are dark brahma. I paid for some (though I did lose two dark birds). Even if they both were brahma I should still have three (had to get five of each breed).
