Gender of my brahma chicken?

[Cathal01]

Hello I am just wondering whether anyone might know the gender of this Brahma chicken. It is 23 weeks old and it’s neither laying nor crowing. I have no other Brahma to compare with so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Male

Definitely a cockerel. He has the thin, pointed feathers hanging down the sides of his lower back that only male chickens get, plus the deeper red shoulder patches are another tell-tale sign. He's gonna be a big rooster-- Brahmas are very slow to mature, so he still has some growing to do.

Agreed

That’s great. Thanks everyone. Should have posted here sooner
