6 week Buff Brahma. Hen or Roo

[Nikkichiky]

I have this 6ish week old Buff Brahma and I’m completely stumped as to if I have a little girl or guy. I picked it up from RK and there’s Hoover’s flyers around so I’m assuming that’s the hatchery this chick came from. Any guesses are welcome! Thanks in advance!

It looks like a female to me, but I only have one Brahma, I’m used to Rhode Island Red and Plymouth Barred Rock.

I sure hope you guys are right! I have a little BBR Oegb bantam roo(believe it or not…my head guy ) that I adore and a Brahma bantam roo with my 12 girls and they get along great. I really wanted Brahma girls but of course they were sold as straight run. I tried to pick 2 that were feathered the most because if I remembered correctly, my little bantam Brahma roo feathered really slow. I want to say he got red in the face and comb fast too. This one has some pink coming through and it’s scaring me lol.

Check out my 4-5 week old Buff Brahmas thread. I'd say pullet BUT I'm not all that certain. We have one that is smaller and still fluffy at 5weeks that we are assuming is a roo lol

All I've red on brahmas say they are slow to feather of a roo, but some of our bigger ones from same batch have bigger combs, not huge, just more prominent.

I just went through your thread! You’ve taken so many pictures! That’s awesome! My 2 look just like your 3 feathered ones. They are close in age. I got mine on 3-5 but some were already starting to get wing/tail feathers so I’m guessing they had been there about a week. Definitely not day or two olds. Here’s my bantam Brahma Poe. He’s every bit as big as my hens as a bantam . He’s a handsome thing Sweet too!
