Went to the Tractor Supply Store ... and came home with these ... all different ... 4 toes ... feather legs ... and so cute!
Husband said I can't go to this store alone anymore!!!

#4 and #5 are Light Brahmas. #6 is. . . Does it also have feathered legs?

The first 3 light ones almost make me think Cochin, but I'm not sure.

I agree that 4 and 5 are light brahama....I just love brahamas.

Brahmas are pretty hard to sex, you'd have to wait weeks, perhaps months later. Mine were. But in the end I got 4 girls.

. . . The roos died before the age of 3 months.

As for broodiness, hard to say. I hear they are moderately to seldom broody - Mine have yet to be broody.

1-3 are cochin's pretty sure... they look like my cochin when he was little. Cochin's make good broodys. #6 looks like it will be barred does it have feathered feet?

#1- Red Cochin
#2- Red Cochin
#3- Partridge or Red Cochin
#4- LB
#5- LB
#6- Barred Cochin

I'm sorry ... why did they die?

I agree. And I think you'll get more broodies out of your cochins than the light brahmas. And cochins are supposed to be great momma's too. I love my light brahma, but she hasn't gone broody yet. (of course, she's only a year old)

Gritsar has a flock light and dark brahma's that are 2 years old, and up til now she's had no broodies. Now she has 1 that is playing part time broody.
