Light Brahmas gender question

[tryingtohaveitall]

Hi all,

Now that I'm down to 2 Brahmas (sob), I am really hoping that maybe one left is a pullet. What say you?

The first one is the one who had a run in with a dog yesterday and is missing tail feathers. In the background is the 2nd.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, I believe they are both males, but there is hope for the one with the most white.

Can you get a closer photo of the saddle feathers? I believe I see pointed saddle feathers, but it's really difficult to see.

How old are they? The one with missing tail feathers is definitely a roo. If the other one is of laying age, I would guess it's a girl.

Hopefully these will be more help.

they both look like males to me, sorry.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of but trying to live in denial. This means I have 4 roos now total and down to 12 pullets. Of course, the two the dog killed yesterday were the two Brahmas that I thought were pullets. Waaah.

The pictures you posted of their backs makes me think they are both roos.

Where are you located? I have a gorgeous pullet from Sundownwaterfowl that I'd sell you--if you're within driving distance. I'd keep the roo on the bottom of the first pics you posted...he's quite a looker!

Yes, those are both males. Sorry hun!
