Sexing 6-week Old Buff Brahma

[larob24]

My son fell in love with this chick at the feed store when it was a few days old, without any promises as to sex. Shampoo is now 6 weeks old. Any guesses as to whether it is a male/female?

I'm guessing roo from the comb, but it's tough to tell! Can you get a close up of the comb?

I'd guess cockerel too...by color and size of comb.
Tho it's not real red.

Brahma can mature a bit slower than other breeds,
and it's harder to tell without females for comparison.

I'm going to say pullet for now. If I were you, I'd wait until it's 10 weeks old. Brahmas mature more slowly than other breeds, so you'll be continuously guessing until about that time. At this point though, it doesn't look any different then my pullets did at that age.

I would repost in a couple more weeks! It's really hard to tell quite yet.
