You need to wait for someone more experienced than me but I would think if it were a cockerel then there would be more wattle development by now.

Ohhhhh that would be awesome

I think cockerel. Give it a few more weeks and it will be clear!

What do you feed him/her?

One day I'll maybe be decent at Brahmas that aren't sexually dimorphic.

Honestly I'm thinking cockerel.

I have been studying this chick for weeks... lol One day I think for sure a cockeral, next day .. hmmm might be a pullet.. I am SO confused!!

I will be ok either way, but really hope it's a pullet. I have a SLW cockeral who is the same age, nobody attempting to crow or anything yet.

They are on Tucker starter/grower and get whole oats on occasion along with some vegetables. They LOVE banana

How much protein %?

I'm leaning towards cockerel. Looks very similar in development to my buff cockerel at that age. The extremely slow feathering was only seen in my cockerels and with a comb that pink, a pullet would likely be fully feathered/filled out before comb development starts. I am surprised by the lack of wattles though. Update in a couple weeks! I suspect the missing back feathers will come in pointed

I will definitely update as this chick matures, seems BB's are kinda hard to sex at a young age.. lol

How much protein %?

The starter is 18%

This one is a tough bird for sure. I'm excited for the update!
