Brahma? Cockerel or Pullet?

[Kes]

I'm posting for a friend to see if any of you can say for sure if her chick is a pullet or cockerel.

She got the chick from a farm and was told it would be a brahma pullet. It's about seven weeks old.
We're having some doubts about those wattles and the lack of tail but I'm not very familiar with brahmas and I thought, since it's not a hatchery bird, it's possible that it's feathering more slowly than what I'm used to.

Any ideas?

The comb and wattles seem large for 7 weeks old, and slow feathering is a sign that the bird is a cockerel. The hackle feathers also seem to be getting pointy, so I think cockerel.

I vote hard to say yet.

I vote for give it a few weeks and post new photos. Actually Brahmas are slow to develop. Is it bantam for large fowl Brahma?

It's quite a bit larger than her Faverolles chick, so definitely not a bantam. I don't know anything about the farm she got them from (she lives in a different state, I've never seen her chickens in person) so I guess there's the possibility too that it's mixed.

I've heard that about Brahmas, and my thoughts too were that it might be a little too early to know for sure, but I was hoping someone here might be more familiar with the breed and know what to look for. It was worth a shot anyway! I know the waiting game feels like forever when you were expecting one thing and think you might have another.

Thanks for the responses, everyone!

Brahma mix of some sort, and a cockerel.

Since they're similar to Brahma, thought I'd post my rooster and hen. I'm going out on a limb and voting pullet. The 1st shot is of mom and her baby, the black one, who's about 2-3 months old there. The 2nd shot is the rooster who has a much more prominent tail, and the hen has a turned down tail, looking to me like your friend's chick. Ignore the barred rock - nasty thing. And that weird looking chicken in the middle. I don't know what that breed is
