Brahma - this has to be a cockerel, right? Age?

[StinkyAcres]

Am I right that I have a cockerel? How old do you think he is? They are supposed to be 5 weeks old, but they seem younger to my inexperienced eye.

Nothing looks like a cock yet. I'd repost in 3-4 weeks.

Okay, thanks! He is so different from the 5 others - he's larger and bulkier, has thicker legs, a shorter tail, larger comb. And he's way more adventurous and tame.

Do you know the breed?

I'd wait a while, large breeds take their time.

Alright, I will. Does 5 weeks old look right?

I'm not at all familiar with brahmas. The Maline cockerel in my avatar is supposed to be around 14 weeks!!! I've had him for over 5 weeks, but would say he was younger... but I just don't know, He's a wonderful bird, but I'm not used to large breeds.

At least I know he's a cockerel!
