Hi everyone,

I am new to the chicken world.... we picked up 11- day old Brahma chicks and now I am looking for tips to sex 4.5 week old dark Brahmas.

Any pics?

I will post some photos later today or tomorrow. Sorry I thought I had pics on my phone

That's fine
The roosters combs go red much faster than hens. If you notice any of your chickens with red combs and wattles at this kind of age, they're probably boys.

I found a few pics from last week. I will post more updated tomorrow.

Yeah. They're a tad small to tell at the moment. Should be easier to tell in a week or so. They're beautiful!

Thank you. I will post updated pics tomorrow. They are much bigger now. I will try and take a pic of them not all together as well.

Look at the chest feathers. Black = cockerel. Gray penciled = pullet.

Here are a few pics. Does that make it easier to guess sexes?

None of those are Dark Brahmas.
