Hello, again! These Dark Brahmas are now just over 5 weeks old. I am also asking on a Brahma thread, but I would love all the educated help I can get, so here are pics:

Pic #1 (Left to Right) Spark (slower feathering, smaller tail), Shimmer and Sabre


Pic #2 Sabre (lightest chick)


Pic #3 Shimmer


Pic #4 Spark (very cuddly, friendly.)


I'm not seeing solid black chest feathers on anyone. Does that mean I have three pullets? Or is it still early? Thanks! I have heard that chicks are 'fully feathered' at 5 weeks, so I figure this should be as good a time as any, if they can be sexed by chest feathering.

Ok we hatched these chicks 4 weeks ago and my daughter thinks by looking at their wings early on that there are 6 pullets and 3 roos. I on the other hand was reading that pullets get their tail feathers in first SO if that is correct we have 6 roos and 3 pullets! :/
What do you think?!?
