Sexing Light Brahmas

I normally go by tail feathers/comb/wattle, but these don't produce those very fast at all... in fact at around 4 months of age (6/1/2024 hatch date) none of mine seem to have tail feathers.

P.S. I free range mine, the run is just used for breakfast/dinner before I take them into their coop for the night. They range in our yard/fruit forest. I am slowly adding dirt to the run to level it (never had vegetation) so ignore the mess. Plus I live in the middle of that hurricane area (N.C near Asheville)

This is the best I can tell. The ones circled in pink are likely pullets, the ones circled in blue look like cockerels.

Awesome thanks! Does it have to do with the darker feathers?

On one of the boys, the one where you can’t see the comb, I went off of the feather color, because the other two cockerels have darker feathers. For the two in front, I saw the large red combs and knew that they were boys.

Agree possible late bloomer cockerel circled pink on the lower left corner by the circled 2 blue cockerels.
