Okey, this are my first brahmas and... I need help with the genders.

They are around 8 weeks old.

I think i got 1 pullet, maybe 2... But if i look on the comb i think it's to red. But as i said, this are my first brahmas so i dont know if the pullets can be a little bit red to...

Here's some pics. Hope it helps.

This is the one i think pullet. It's quite small, the comb is pale and cant see any red wattles.

Another pic of the same bird above.

And here is the one that could be both pullet or roo in my eyes... It's the smallest of them all, the comb is quite red, it got a very small head, full feathered body and small feets.

And brahma 3... Think it's a cockerel. It's bigger then the other 2 above, thick legs and big feets. It's not full feathered yet.
The comb is red.

And here is the last one... I pretty sure it's a roo. The comb is red, it also got red wattles, thick legs and big feets, not mutch feathers on the back and wings and it's very big.... And it's not social at all!

I think you probably have 2 and 2. Many breeds feather in the way you mentioned- with roos taking longer. My cochins are like that too. Nice looking birds- I love buff brahmas.
 
I have no experience with brahmas, but recently posted my 7 week old light brahma here for sexing (my only & only brahma). The general consensus for this chick was roo - I'm posting the pics so you can see how red/pink the comb is and how big the wattles are compared to yours.

Now, a week later (8 weeks old), its wattles are a little bigger than pictured.
