I got some light brahmas 3 weeks ago. They are supposed to be sexed pullets, but we know how that goes.

I have one that's feathering in slower than the others. Lack of a tail is the most obvious, and fewer wing feathers so far. It's one of the two biggest chicks so I took a pictures of the two largest. Tried to get best I could. They are broody raised and she was madly yelling at them to get away from me. I know it's really early to tell, and I should know for sure in a few weeks, but the wait is killing me!

Just a little update. I'm pretty certain that it's a cockerel now. None of them want caught now. They are at that phase.

It's the naked one there second from the right. There are finally a few feathers coming in on the neck and legs. Most of the fluff has been outgrown and there is skin showing pretty bad. (click for larger)
