Can someone please weigh in on whether this is a pullet or roo. It's 3.5 weeks old and larger than the rest. Thank you in advance for your opinions.

Looks like a pullet to me, but it would help if you sent pictures of the others as well. Pullets tend to feather out faster than cockerels and some lines feather out really slowly and some really fast. I've got one in my brooder now that is smaller than all of the others. Don't know why, it just is what it is.

@mrstodd I'm new to Buff Brahmas, but I would guess pullet.

Make sure you let us know when you figure it out.....we can all learn from our mistakes

I think it's a pullet.

thanks for your input everyone. I will let you know, Id still like some more replies too. The reason I'm asking is this chick is a lot bigger than the rest, the dark feathers coming in arounds its neck are further down its back than the rest, and if you look at the first picture or click on it to make it larger, it has waddles, that are red. Small but dark pink/red.

I am building a coop and have a question about door size. Do they fit thru the standard 12 inch door or do they need a larger one like 14 inch?

IMO 12 inches is fine.
