Breed/gender question on Easter chick

[cindy parker]

I know it's early but I was hoping maybe since this chick now has some feathering coming through that maybe someone could give me an idea what breed it may be. I posted a pic last week before the feathers really started popping out. Since then, there are white wing feathers with some darker color mixed in and white feathered feet. Spunky little chic too!

What kind of comb does it have? Pea comb would indicate a Brahma, straight comb a Cochin.

Not a clue...these are my first chickens

Very cute, but the color throws off the whole what am I?

That's a pea comb. I do believe you have a light Brahma!

That's what I'm thinking, too. I wouldn't hold your breath for a pullet, either....

Light Brahma, too young for gender

thanks guys I already had suspicions it wasn't gonna turn out to be a pullet...this chick is already strutting around like the world is his! He constantly nudges the other chic in the brooder out of the way and scratches off like he is showing the other one who is boss. Too funny to watch. If it ends up not being a pullet, I'm sure I can find him a new home. We live in rural Ga and everyone around has chickens.

Its a baby condor. Sorry I couldn't resist...poor guy just looks so silly with his scruffy juvenile feathers and that pink head.
