These are boys, right???

[tharrell]

These two are being sent off to the processor Saturday with some quail and I'm about 90% sure they are boys. Just in case I have a hen in there I want some other opinions on them. They are about 11 weeks old or so and are mixed breed. It's the first one I really have any doubts about. Thanks in advance for any help!

they look like roos to me.

I dunno... I don't see saddle feathers on either one of them... OR any sign of roo other than maybe their legs are big... Maybe someone more familiar with a Brahma mix(?) could tell.

That one against the wire looks like it could be a hen. I'd want to be sure.

 

[tharrell]

That's the one I'm questioning.....

A good pic of their backs and tail would help alot, at 11 weeks and if they are Brahma mix, I would think their combs would be bigger if they were cockerals. The tail on the second one looks henish to me, but hard to tell in the pics.

You should post more pics on the two of them....they could be hens.

I read on here once that someone didn't post better pics, they just assumed their two birds were roos.....they realized their mistake....AFTER they killed them.....both were hens.

Both roos.

I think they are all roos. I don't think cockerels get pointed saddle feathers this early, but the combs & wattles on these chicks defintitely look male (for this young).

I know your chicks are not pure LBs, but they still have a lot of the same traits and I think you can use brahma pictures to compare them.
These are pictures of my light brahma cockerel at 11 weeks of age:

These was taken a few days later (11 1/2 weeks)

My LB hen is 17 weeks. She has a red face and small comb area but not a waddle in sight. These guys look like..... guys.
