Sex of 9 week old chicks from kindergarten

I zoomed in here, hope it’s clear enough. This one has a pretty severe scissor beak which she’s had since we brought her home. I make a mash for her twice a day and have been making sure that she is gaining weight, but she is definitely smaller. That’s probably a separate post... She is the sweetest of the four.View attachment 2765207

Both are definitely pullets

Was looking at 8 week old slw and yours seems to be a roo and don't forget your buff brahma could be a boy to since they develop later so far you have obvious 2 boys and a girl and maybe another girl

What's your rehoming plans for the boys

Thanks for checking out the pics. The Brahma flys at everyone else and acts like what I think a rooster must act like. So I’m wondering if we may have three roosters on our hands. No one is crowing yet but when they do, they will likely have to go...and a flock of one feels like not much of a flock. Kindergartener is pretty stoic about it all and has encouraged me to find “some hens that already lay eggs.”

Have a few friends with flocks outside the city limits.

Yeah definitely keep and eye out for the braham but if you get more hens order from somewhere such as mcmurry hatchery or ask one of your friends if they would trade your boys for some hens or something like that

Don't give up on SLW. This can happen. I was told definitely a boy.And I was told poor breeding stock. Look at her now.

Okay! I really do have hope! When should I expect to see the comb and wattles grow like that if I have a roo?
