Sexing the Brahma breed, (standard size, Light Brahma)

[Aunt Angus]

They are a very lovely flock!

Sorry I misunderstood you. Yep, I now see a new Easter Egger in your second pic. All girly girls except for your light Brahma. What a good-looking little flock!

Can anyone tell by the feathers what these Brahmas might be? 3 look identical to me and only 1 looks different. Hoping I don’t have 3 roos lol

You have some cochins, and the one in the lower right is probably a cockerel. Then you have three buff brahma and what looks like red sex link pullet.

I have splash cochins and the other 4 are a project “Lemon Pyle” Brahmas. I have 1 cockerel and 2 pullets for the Cochins just don’t know the sex of the Brahmas by looking at feathers. Wasn’t sure if anyone could pick up on it or just to early to tell.

How old are they? They look too young. Plus the one of the buffs is pecking, so they're blurred.

Hiya all, I was wondering if you could sex this brahma chicken. Should be around 13-14 weeks.






many thanks!

Hen!

I know this is an old ongoing thread but I didn’t want to start my own post since my Brahmas are so young.

I mostly was wondering if a chick charging and pecking your hand during water and food changes is an exclusively cockerel trait. He/she just started doing this this week at 2 weeks old. They are supposed to be sexed pullets but I would actually be happy with a Brahma rooster.

Too soon to tell. At this age, both genders will exhibit 'pullet' and 'cockerel' behavior.

Do you happen to know if the 3 row combs on brahmas mean anything like with EEs? Trying to be patient but also trying to figure the breed out. Here are 4 week pictures of my two.
