Can you sort it so they can be seen from your link?
 
Still can't access the 1st and 3rd which I tried this morning, but can get the middle one which allows access to your photostream. It's academic for me because I know nothing about sexing Brahmas or any other fowl for that matter, but maybe now someone else will be abel to help.
 
done now can see. there was only a fue pictures of my nephew on flickr i want garded but it seems to of done them all
i was checking for sparing and size but some of my orp hens are bigger than their brothers and full on fightin with other hen. (think latifa about to go broody again she picks a fight just befor)
 
would say more hens than cockerels. cant work out if there are 9 pics there though. i would say the ones with big wide flat combs are male but not sure if thats a normal on a brahma or not? would of thought they should just be the same as the others but just differing in size for different sexes. i find it helps to have full shot of whole bird aswell.
 
only 3 diffrent birds there. iv eggs from 2 diffrent places and couple of each have the flat wide combs
il try get more pictures of all
