Thinking that comb is too red to be a pullet and I think the beginning of pointy feathers around the tail?
Hes so lovely, hope ge stays that way ❤

Haha thank you. I'm in the UK and we bought hatching eggs and he was labelled brahma so hopefully he stays lovely. He's enormous the size of our Welsummer or taller already

Cockerel. And a handsome one at that

Were you planning on breeding him? Brahmas should have pea combs, he has a single.

At 16 weeks I'd expect to see some rooster saddle feathers on a male. Maybe not for a slow developer, but I wouldn't be too sure to say "cockerel" without seeing male hackles and saddles at that age.

I didn’t see age. I agree that at 16 weeks I’d think it’d be more obvious. I’m more on the fence now.
