Light Brahmas both hens?

[BirdGirl2004]

Yes, I

They aren't very well bred light Brahmas. They have a lot of black leakage over their bodies. They are looking like cockerels to me. Pea Combed breeds are hard to tell sometimes.

agree that they don't look to be well bred, but they're still beautiful!

1st pic = cockerel
2nd pic = pullet
3rd pic = front/cockerel, back/pullet

I don’t have experience with light brahmas, but I have a dark Brahma chick, and comparing your photos with mine I’d say your smaller chick at least is a pullet.

agree with Chick Nanny 13

was there a size difference between them as chicks? I honestly wonder if one is a bantam. As for gender, its way too early to tell with brahmas, unless one was glaringly obvious about it. I'd say give it time and wait a bit.

Yes, as chicks the big one was slightly bigger. It seemed to get bigger really quickly compared to the other. The smaller one had hurt its leg for a while and was limping about a week but is fine now. I had figured it was smaller from not gettting around as well to eat.

I meant when you first got them... as chicky chicks... As fluffle butts. Where they the same size?

We bought them from a local feed store. I asked their age and the workers had no idea. I assumed they were maybe 3-4 weeks because they had already started to feather out. At that time the there was a slight size difference. This is a pic of when I first got them.

Ok, then my bantam guess is way off. They're the same size. I still think its too early to guess gender though.
