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

[Mama_in_the_Dell]

So I got her/him out today to get a good picture of the comb. It was not this pink until I got her out. It still goes back and forth between flesh and pink. I mostly want to figure out if this is a rose comb, cushion comb, or other variations of pea+rose. It apparently was injured in some way but there is no point, nor does it look like there ever was before the injury. All of the rose combs I’ve had had very distinct points at the tip of the comb.

That's a rose, or modified rose comb, and a cockerel. Even normally rose combed breeds, the comb isn't that wide this young in pullets.

I purchased 3 light Brahma pullets and 3 out of 4 feathered FAST! The other not so much. Thinking boy anywho “he” is really dark compared to the 3. Comb started turning red at 5 weeks and now at almost 6 weeks they all start to be Redding as well as flat wider comb except 1! Sending pics of 5 week difference in 2 and some pics I took this evening. Is it normal for this breed to turn pink faster? The 3 that feathered fast have tail feathers and all just waiting on head fuzz the dark 1st suspect is still lacking a tail.

Looks like pullets to me.

I purchased 4 not 3 lol typo! So do the brahmas tend to go pink early? And the dark one....still hasn’t caught up feathering wise....just curious....my first 2 were boys...obvious boys at this age....so it’s boggling my mind lol I also got a 2 1/2 mo old boy from a breeder and he’s just now starting to get wattles at 4 mo.

Thank you, do you think mine is a she?

I don’t know. First Brahmas, well first 6 chickens, for me. I’m in the “tell me” stage too. Here are my 2 at almost 4 weeks (Monday). Here’s Grace and Frankie

@Rshumpal I can't see the pictures well (light), but yours look fluffy... or I am not seeing the feathers. Here is mine at 26 days (today), looks like she has more feathers. I am almost sure mine is a she from the sounds she makes.
