I've had the same problem, those light Brahmas are hard to sex, young. I have 2 LB hens that I was sure were roos until they were several months old. One has a large comb, for a hen, the other has a tiny one. They do mature very slowly. I have a LB/EE cross right now who's about 2 months old, I hope is a hen, but it looks like I won't know for awhile. The buff Brahmas are easier to sex, the color pattern's more distinctive.
She/he has the light Brahma coloring face is almost pure white with just a bit of black , but with the EE/Americauna type muff, and may be growing tufts, too. Feathered legs. Beautiful, I hope it's a hen!
