Pullets or Cockerels? (Buff Brahma, Delaware, BLRW)

[MotherClukr]

Hello!

I know it's likely still too early, but figured I'd put up some progression photos over the next few weeks that may be able to help others.

Any early insight on whether these chicks are male or female? They are about 4.5 weeks old. We've never had these breeds before so I'm unsure of the first signs to look for. So far, no signs of any waddles, and the Delaware's comb is just barely poking through, which isn't alarming to me at this point.

Thanks!

All look like pullets.

Something to keep in mind wyandottes frequently pink in the comb early, regardless of gender. On that one, comb AND wattle growth are better indicators for gender. If you see pink and no growth, then just keep an eye on it.

Also, brahmas tend to take longer to reach point of laying. Figure 6 months minimum for that one.

They're darling, btw.

I see all girls as of right now.

Hi again! I'm back with some photo updates! They are now about 6 weeks old. Still look like pullets? The Wyandotte (first one) is the only one with the slightest hint of a waddle poking through, it it's still tiny.

So far so good. I have a baby I'm watching re wattles. No explosion of growth yet.
