Brahma Pullet or Cockerel?

How old is this one?

I had assumed pullet, but I do notice the comb and wattles are more developed than the dark brahma I have of the same age (4-5 mo?). And my neighbor says she hears a crude sort of a wanna be crowing coming from my yard... (though I did have a full grown hen that used to do that0

Hmm I am a bit stumped to be completely honest. That comb and wattle are huge but I am not seeing any saddle or hackle feathers. Let others chime in and see though!

He's a cockerel.

My first thought was cockerel, happen to have any photos of the back from above? Near the tail?


Eta I have a post of buff Brahmas as they grow for reference if that might help too

I think it might be a pullet. We have an EE that everyone said was a roo, until she laid an egg. The same happened with a frizzle. But you always need to keep your eyes on the TAIL. Breeds have different combs so some can look like Roos next to breeds with small combs. But if it’s a hen, she should be laying pretty soon.

At 4-5 months old I would say pullet.

100% male.

Looks like you'll have to wait until you get a crow or an egg. Brahmas are slow to mature so it could go either way
