Brahma pullet/roo

[YogaMom]

I am learning it can be hard to sex brahmas. Mine is about 7-8 weeks old. The tail seems roo, but was told they are slow developing. The pea comb doesn't seem very pronounced and no wattles yet. Purchased as 90% pullet and really hope so as its very sweet and cuddly and I can not have a roo where I live.

I have a few that are that age. It looks like a hen to me.

I don't see anything screaming roo cept those big scary yellow legs and 3 rows on it comb. It seems soon to call it one way or the other cuz it has no color in the face or wattles, but those are slow on Brahma's. Try post again in a few weeks.

Everyone staring at you is a 2 mo cockerel and ALSO the light who is not- so only 1 buff pullet in this photo

and this one @ 7 weeks is a cockerel

Yeah. It looks identical to mine.

Do you have a pic of yours?

The tail won't tell you much on a brahma. It doesn't indicate gender. At this point, I would suspect cockerel... based upon the comb, but would have to give it a bit more time, as they are slow developers.

It looks like a pullet to me. The triple rowed comb doesn't mean much in Brahmas
