Dries, I think your bird is a cockerel. Brahmas are tricky as they can be so slow to mature, but the bird just does not look feminine to me at all. At this age a pullet would have a softer, more rounded look. Your bird has that leggy, gawky look of a teenage boy. Looks like a triple row of pea comb, and darker shading of buff on the wings, both male signs.Imo that's a cockerel, because of the darker feathers and the comb.
Wish mine was that easy to sex. But it seems no one knows 100 % sure and he is almost 5 months old !!!
Can anyone (experienced with buff brahmas) give me confirmation so I can return him to breeder please and change for a pullet ?
Thanks
I would certainly guess cockerel.
The Brahmas overseas have a different standard. I don't know what they officially should look like; but they always seem much lankier, longer, and have vulture hocks compared to the US birds. So they may indeed be slower growing and give a much different impression than what many Americans may expect.
You're welcome; and they told you wrong, it's a pullet. )Thanks, and if I show you these pics from 1 week ago (13 weeks old), because some people told me it's a rooster ?
