Maybe these pictures can help?

I bought this pullet and was told she was 2 or 3 months old.  That was over a month ago.  Here are pictures from when I first got her, and from today. Sorry the first picture is so blurry...Betty Francis First dayBetty Francis.jpg

Mine look just like yours and are the same age.  I am going to take some photos tomorrow so will post one.  I think/hope they are pullets fl.gif...I would hold on a little if you can.

Mine (pictured above) is a pullet, and she is also very bossy.  Kind of a bully.  She doesn't hurt anybody, but if anyone is eating anything she wants, she runs sraight at them and they run away from her.

You've got a pullet.  Some of my girls have a little waddle, too.  It should stop growing, if it gets any bigger than it is, then you can worry.  You've also got long straight tall feathers on her; the upper tall feathers would be curly on a roo and come out later than the fluffy under ones.  If she were a roo you'd have a bigger comb and he'd be redder in the face as well.  Brahmas are huge and will be noticeably larger even at a young age.  They are also talkers.

Here he/she is at 10 weeks. Do you all still think it's a pullet still?

I got an accidental Brahma roo last year along with 2 Brahma pullets.  Your chick is looking more like a pullet at 10 weeks, the roo was much redder.  Last year's Brahma pullets were terrible bullies the Susses chicks, they liked to throw their weight around.

There's still nothing that screams cockerel to me.  Here are some updatd pics of my girl.  She's between 17 and 21 weeks now, not sure which.  She's a bully too, and even chest bumped the cockerel she grew up with, just days before he started crowing.  Mostly she picks on the lavenders though, as they are younger.  Her face is very red now, which I belive is a sign that she will start laying soon. (I sure hope so).  In one picture you can see her posture is similar to yours.  She's more often horizontal, because she's always looking on the ground for food.  Yours has more comb than mine, but isn't nearly as red.  Yours has more tail, but just thicker, really--don't think that's significant in terms of gender.  Are the saddle feathers on yours pointy?  The hackles are misleading--they look pointy because of the markings on them, but the feathers themselves are a bit more rounded.
