Buff Brahma Chicks Gender? (With pics)

[bawesome]

Greetings! I have three buff brahma chicks, one week old today. I didn't think I would be able to sex them this early, but I can't help notice that one of the three has much longer wing feathers and is the only one with tail feathers -- the other two have short wings and only fuzzy butts.

Is it too soon to tell? The chick with tail feathers grew them over 24 hours ago.

They're too young. Come back in a few weeks and post new pictures

The feather sexing method only works with breeds that are bred for the trait, and Brahmas are not one of those breeds.

Thanks a bunch -- I kind of expected that answer, despite finding a webpage that gave me hope in earlier sexing : http://hanburyhouse.com/how-to-distinguish-male-chicks-from-female-chicks-in-1-week-old-cochins/ (it's for Cochins, but it also states that it is general for many breeds).

I reckon I'll give it a few more weeks before putting back on my detective hat.
