Please tell me i don't have a Roo....

[Casslg33]

Hello! We have 2 Light Brahmas that we aren't sure if one is a roo or not. Unfortunately we can't have a rooster in our town. What do you think? First one is Big Momma second one is Betty

For Big Momma - could we get a picture of the comb?

Also, approximate age?

 

[Casslg33]

They are 11 weeks

At 11 weeks, I'm thinking you have two pullets there. I'd expect a much more developed and red comb by that age if you had a roo.

Brahmas are slow to mature.

It's hopeful that you have pullets, but because of that slow development they're known for stealth cockerels and difficulty sexing.

Within the next month you will probably be able to tell for sure.

IMO, the saddle feathers, which *usually* show between 10 and 20 weeks, are the surest tell.

They look like pullets, but I am not positive
