Been a member so long I forgot my password and had to reset it 😳 anyhow I have been away for a few years because I moved from Montana to Alabama and have not had chickens. Back in the chook biz now and have just completed my coop and huge chicken yard. Last go round was Buff Orpingtons, Ausralorps, Black Sex Links and Silver Laced Wyandottes. My flock was about 40 chickens. This go round I am at 21, Americauna’s, SIlver Laced Wyandottes, Buff Orpingtons, Red Star, Australorp and two “mystery chicks” 😳 I believe they are a Buff Brahma and an Easter Egger, I have 5 older hens that are several weeks older that are Sapphire Olive Eggers that came from TSC. My chicks came from McMurray. The younger are separate from the older right now until they get a bit bigger. The young are 6 weeks old and the 5 olive eggers are 13 weeks old. So I probably shouldn’t have ordered a roo because I am pretty sure the Brahma is a cockerel. Also would like to know if the white chick is an EE, I am pretty sure she is a pullet. Anyhow, glad to be back, attached are some pics for any and all opinions 😊 Thanks!

Hi, welcome back to BYC!
That buff brahma certainly stands like a cockrel, but don't give up hope. I had one last year with a stubby tail, that was slow feathering and fought with all the other chicks. I was sure she was a he. She came out a lovely light brahma pullet. Her personality improved too.
Crossing my fingers for you. Good luck!

Thanks Janiedoe! I am hoping but doubtful 😂
