Chicken or cockerel?

[nickit1987]

Hi,

I'm new to keeping chickens and was given 4 to start me off a couple of months ago. I'm told this one is a brahma hen but I don't know, it looks kind of cockerel-y to me? It is about 4-5 months old. Could anyone confirm for me please?

He's a cockerel. So is the photo bomber.

Agreed.

That was my suspicion Thanks for the confirmation

You've got two cockerels at least

This ! Both pullets/hens and cockerels/roosters are chickens.

You see correctly: the hackle and saddle feathers give him away.
