Well I was able to get a few pics of my Light Brahma boy, but it was somewhere around 103 and he did not want to stand around for pictures.

He was hatched out on May 20th so is just under 3 months old

Here he is with a few of his hatchmates that are Light brahma crosses. He is between the two girls and in front the BR/LB cross, my other boy from this hatch.

If yours is only less then 3 months old it is strange that she that devloped. My boy's combs and wattles arn't even that devloped. Stranger things have happened I guess.

Sorry I couldn't get a better picture, he or she is very camera shy, but hopefully you'll be able to tell. I got five from Cackle and they were all supposed to be pullets but this one is bigger and has a bigger comb than the rest.  I've never had brahmas before so I'm not so sure.  I'm hoping for a roo so I can replace my old roo, that got killed by a coyote.

what did the chicken end up being? I am in the same predicament and mine is the same age as this one in these pics and I swear it could be mine, they look so much alike. I can't have a roo where I live so I need to know asap what gender it is.

Please advise!

Sorry to piggyback on this post, but I was wondering the same thing about my light Brahma and whether she/he is a Becky or a Bucky. She or he is 10 weeks old.

Cockerel.

Three out of three vote cockerel! Will let you know a few months down the road when I know for sure (though the wattles and tail are making me think the same). Not at all unhappy to have light Brahma rooster though my hens may not like how big he gets!

There aren't any male specific feathers on your bird yet, as that happens at 12 weeks, but it is a cockerel. My light brahmas were no where near this big and red at this age.
