Sexing Light Brahmas

[BLaBauve]

I need help! These 2 light brahmas are around 7 weeks old. I was told one of these is a cockerel and one is a pullet. Does anyone have any guesses which is which? I can barely tell them apart! Their combs are the same pale color.

Thanks,
Beth

Both boys, sorry

the one on the left is a girl and the one on the right is a boy in the bottom pic or they are both girls but definatley not both boys

I sure hope one of them is a pullet

I also say the one on the left = pullet, and right = cockerell in the last pic. The cockerell seems to have pointed hackels.

I'm not sure what they are yet, but they do look to be the same gender. It's too early to look for pointed hackle feathers - I think mostly you look at combs at this age. Watch their wattles - if the wattles start to grow in the next couple of weeks (see pics below), than they are probably males. I think I knew at around 7-8 weeks that my LB was a roo, but was in denial until he was 11 weeks old and started to crow

Hopefully, yours are girls.

Here's my light brahma roo at 7 weeks:

This is him at 9 weeks.

Your boy is beautiful! These 2 don't have any wattles yet. But come to think of it I do have another 4 week old Brahma in the garage that does have wattles coming in. Interesting. . . Thanks!
