Light Brahma chick - hen, roo, or too early to tell?

You'll need to wait until 8 weeks minimum to get a proper guess on the Brahma :) Some oddballs just don't develop into obvious cockerels until 8-12 weeks. That being said, it's not showing any cockerel traits yet, but some could appear in a few weeks :)
Updating at 12 weeks!
In the last week or so, it looks to me that Casper started to get saddle feathers and the beginnings of some pointy tail feathers. 😅
I also picked all the birds up to clip their flight feathers yesterday, and I can feel little bumps on the Brahma's legs where spurs might be coming in.
