Hello! We got a batch of mixed breed chicks for meat birds and three that came were Light Brahmas. I’m just curious if they are all male (because I kind of like them) - I’m pretty certain the first two are, but the last one I’m not so sure. They are 5.5 weeks old. Take a look at the photos and let me know! Two pics of each chick 😊

Thank you!

I did some reading and it sounds like if they have a butt poof instead of tail feathers, they are males. Here is the difference in tail feathers of the first two - one has a longer tail but I'm not sure if it's long enough to not be a butt poof. ha
