Hi all! I posted when this chick was about 4 weeks old, but I'm still stumped. Lightning Speed is 12 weeks old today. Any brahma experts who could weigh in? S/he does have 3 rows of peas, but it's not really sticking up from the head like a lot of males I've seen of this age with pea combs. If different photos would help please let me know. Thanks so much in advance! :)

Edited to add another photo of the comb. I couldn't get one dead-on today, but this is from maybe 3 weeks ago (so 9ish weeks old). It is more raised now, but not a whole lot.

Thank you, for the guess and the compliments! I think she (?) is so pretty, and I love the big fluffy thighs. :) If it weren't for the comb I probably wouldn't even be questioning it. This chick feathered early, and has stopped sparring with everyone all the time (no more than my other chicks do, maybe even a little less), and doesn't even spar with my known roo. But... there's the comb, with the 3 rows of peas that were very defined from early on. I already have to rehome one guy, which is breaking my heart, so I just want to be sure I don't need to rehome another. :(
 
I'm guessing girl. My roosters were all very obvious at this age. I think you're safe :) I'm also no expert though :)
