The first 6 chicks I had I took outside one day and they all flopped on their sides and started dust bathing, I thought they were all dying.

If you are not familiar with chickens you just dont always know these things. The brahma is a girl because in the dark brahma the boys have a different colored feathering on them and you can see the pencilling on her so its a girl.

The last picture of the RIR I see 2 feathers right before the tail (saddle feathers) that appear to be a little pointy and definitly curling downward. If this trend continues then it is 100% boy.

My RIR bantys are 1 week younger than yours and I cannot for the life of me tell what sex they are.

See where the wing comes to an end by the behind? follow that wing (the top edge) towards the front of the chichen and the first thing you see is a fluffy area that is a little lighter in color, then, keep following the upper wing towards the front of the chicken and directlty in front of that little fluffy spot there are two small thin feathers that are pointing downwards, and the appear to be darker (one feeather endig on each side of the fluffy spot

ETA: I would watch those 2 feathers and see what they do in the next week

Oh i see it!!!! right now, its tail is at a 45 deg angle, and so is the brhamas.

If those two feathers continue to grow downward and more are added then it will be a boy

Sindoora the tails will still be at that angle but the feathers before the tail are what you want to look at.
