Help- This chick hatched May 9th and we received them from my son's school. I am wondering if anyone has any idea of what kind of chicken this is and what you think about it's gender??
He's probably not a Brahma. Brahmas have fuzzy feet. It looks to be a Delaware. I have one outside that looks about the same age. Looks like you have a rooster. Delaware hens even have large combs, but his looks to be really red- which at this age is how you tell if he/she is a rooster. They are wonderful chickens though!
9 Ameraucanas, 2 Auracanas, 2 Barred Rocks, 1 Light Brahma, 13 Golden Comets,15 EEs, 1 Delaware, 4 barnyard mixes
He's a rooster. He's too young for pointy hackle or saddle feathers but that comb leave no room for doubt!
As to breed-----huh. could be a mix, hard to tell at this point.

A learning experience for sure he brought us 23 at once and we just moved into our farmhouse and land so we were very unprepared. What a mess that was for a few days lol and we are still learning
