My Buff Brahma and I have been oh so patiently waiting until *hopefully* she gets to the 7 week mark to start the guessing game. I know it might be a little early still but also slightly worried about some roo-ish signs.
Grabbed quite few shots to provide the best angles possible.

New thoughts or keep waiting?

Awe that’s a bummer. What is the clue? I keep studying pics of these and am not seeing how to tell.

At seven weeks old he had quite prominent wattles for a slow maturing breed and now at eight weeks he has a very prominent comb and wattles along with getting darker colored patches on the wings that will later turn into sex feathers. Here's two pics of a Brahma cockerel and then two pics of a Brahma pullet the same age. (This pullet has an unusually prominent comb.) The pullet's comb is wide but it's not "built up" like a cockerel's would be. She also lacks the wattles.
