I'm thinking pullet for yours, but again Brahma are so difficult. Her comb looks more 1 rowed than 3. You can see the difference in my first pick. She also looks pretty well feathered in. Not like she has room to develope saddle feathers.

Imo that's a cockerel, because of the darker feathers and the comb.Ugh! I'm having the same problem. All of mine look like roosters to me. Why do Brahma have to be so difficult to sex?! I was told that if their pea comb has 3 distinct rows it's a roo. But all of them look like they have 3 rows to me. Dries86, yours looks like it might be getting some pointed tail feathers so I'm leaning toward cockerel. Mine are only 9 weeks so I have a long wait to know for sure. This one I'm almost positive is a roo. He feathered in MUCH slower than the rest.
You can see the difference in tails in this pic. He? is in the front. Has a much smaller tail. Hers is bigger and has rounded feathers.
There is still hardly any comb on this bird and a complete lack of thin, pointy saddle feathers. It's a pullet.
That is an awful lot of comb for an 11 week old pullet. I won't say it's a boy for sure, but I would not be surprised if it is.
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
