Need help to sex baby brahma chicks

[Dave500]

Hi everybody,

I'm new at raising baby chicks. I've got two chicks of 5 weeks old. Those are gold partridge brahma chicks. Just a day after they were born, we checked the feathers and though that we have one poulet and one cockerel. Now they are five weeks old, I would like to be sure.

I've got a few shots of them. Could you let me know what you thing?

My first opinion is chick #1 is a cockerel and chick #2 is a poulet. Actually, chick #1 is quiet bigger than chick #2.

Thanks a lot guys,

David

I think you may be right about the gender. @Overo Mare might be able to confirm. Cute chicks!

It’s pretty early to tell but they both look like pullets to me. A lot of the time feather sexing is inaccurate and I would not rely heavily on it.

Cute babies.

Feather sexing only works when crossing certain sex linked genes.

So far they both look like pullets, but Brahmas are super slow to mature. It is still quite early even for a fast maturing breed to be confident. Post updated pictures in a few weeks and we should have a better idea.

Pullets. They're feathering out nicely, cockerels will feather out more slowly, & a bit patchy like.

They look like pullets to me, I have a brama and she looks like yours.
