Buff Brahma is he a roo

[Laurenk]

We had thought he was a roo from very early on, goes by the name of Winston but now doubting ourselves as he is low in the pecking order, showing no signs of crowing and generally a very lovely bird, I am a complete novice so would love some expert opinions!

He is a cockerel.
Not pure Buff Brahma.

Thank you, yes we think he is a bit of a cross as he was sold as an isabella hatching egg but clearly wasn't!

Agreed.

Wow, that is a huge cockerel! Very handsome colors, too.

Beautiful cockerel with those lovely saddle feathers.

How old is he?

Brahmas are known for having laid-back roosters and late development.

Definitely a boy. And you should gear up for the weirdest crow you’ve ever heard They’re big goof balls.

My light Brahma rooster, Marion, had a lovely crow -- deep and resonant.
