Possible Gender Please 😞

Hello. We purchased these with the typical "90% pullet" . I had 2 people in a Brahma group tell me that 100% my brahma and Orpington are Roos. The chance we take but we cant keep a roo if its true. Please give input

I would say you have all hens, not too great of comb pictures though, kind of hard to tell.

They sure look like pullets to me at this point. An odd feather here or there in a juvenile is much less significant than comb growth or clear saddle feather spikes.

Buff Orps and Brahmas mature a bit slower, so you should still watch and wait...but again those sure look like pullets to me.

My thoughts.

A guy that raises Brahma keeps telling me roos. is not true about tails at this age? They are about 5-6 wks

True they are like silkies, which tend to mature slower and I have never had brahmas good to have another person think the same.

This is our first time owning chickens. Funny that since the EE had a tail when we got them we were thinking she was a he

Some Brahma breeders notice a difference in the tail feathers...males growing with shorter tail feathers while females have pointier. But, Brahmas are not auto-sexing, so the differences would be subjective and not totally accurate.

More important is the comb. Here is a photo I clipped from a Brahma post from Beckyhsinglsc that shows the difference of combs at 6 weeks.
