12 week old Light Brahma— roo or pullet?

[Andraper]

I bought this chicken in hopes of having a handsome little Brahma Roo but I’m concerned that maybe “it” is a hen— any thoughts?!

I'm new but I think hen. Here's my 10 week light brahma that I think is male. You can see the comb is much redder and more raised.

I’m thinking so too so sad! Paid quite a bit more for her trying to get a rooster!

Wanna trade? But in all seriousness hopefully you can find a roo in your area. If you got her from a breeder/farm I've heard of breeders trading out if they got the gender wrong and most likely they would rather have a hen than a roo.

OP's bird is a pullet.

@Kimberoo Id certainly say you have a cockerel on your hands there.

Pullet! It seems like every time someone actually wants a rooster they get all hens!

What stinks is I paid 4x more then all my hens and drove out of town (I was being picky on what breed I wanted for my roo ) because it was supposed to be a roo I’m a little annoyed!
