Thought they were all pullets, but maybe not.

I thought these were all pullets, but now I am thinking we may have a cockerel or more. Please help. They are 10 weeks old, Light Brahma's.

4 looks like your only pullet. Also these have the wrong comb type for Brahma.

what breed are they then, I hatched them from a relative, who's daughter ordered them they weren't sure what they were (daughter doesn't live with them now). I assumed that what they were. Feathers on feet, yellow legs...

Agreed, 4 is your pullet...

As to what they are. I'm not certain either. At first they do look like brahma... but then you notice that two of them (at least) have single combs instead of pea combs.
The other thing with that to consider is that the single comb gene is recessive, and pea is dominant. So those two either have some weird genetics going on. They could be hatchery quality light brahmas... with genetics that popped out the single combs instead of the pea.


ETA: Chicken number 2 has white legs.... which is also incorrect. And I believe that again, yellow is dominant.

Now I find birds with that barring around their necks hard to sex, and I can't really see the saddle feathers in some of your pictures,but I'd say 3 is a roo from the red comb. 2 from the beginning of wattles I can see.

To me they look like non standard columbia wyandottes.

Yup - I have to agree. At this age, it looks like you have three blues and a pink. That's about my luck, usually, too . I don't know much about the larger breeds, especially when they're young like these, but they look to be a Brahma cross. They're awfully pretty, though ... and at least they look like they'll be big enough to make a good freezer bird, if you decide to go that route.

Do they have pea combs? If so they are Brahmas and if not they’re probably just not purebred. They do look like brahmas to me though. I have 3

They’re Brahmas. Wyandottes do not have feathered feet and they have sleeker, less plush feathers.

They're too young to have male or female specific feathering in the saddle. That happens after 12 weeks.
Also, wyandottes have yellow skin, and Columbian markings... but they don't have feathered legs or single or pea combs.

They look more or less like light Brahma it's probably just poor breeding. Not unheard of to have the wrong comb type, especially if they're from a hatchery or barnyard eggs for sale. It's also not unheard of at all to have Cochin in the mix
