22-24 week old Buff Brahma Pullet or Cockerel?

I’ve been hanging onto hope that Becky is a she, but just noticed orange pointy saddle feathers. Bought from a breeder at approx 12 weeks and assured it was a pullet. Thanks in advance!

It appears to be a late maturing cockerel - not unusual for Brahmas to mature slowly.

I think it's a cockerel.

Thank you. Guess I’ll have to find him some girls his own size. My other hens are EE and Marans.

He's definitely a cockerel. My Buff Brahma rooster at the same age was quite gangly too.

The tail feathers also hint cockerel, too. I think they have the shiny iridescence of a rooster's tail feathers!

I have yet to meet a nice rooster. Sure hope this one is not going to be a jerk. . So far whatever read about Buff Brahma roosters is encouraging.
