Could one of my Brahama pullets be a cockeral?

[chickenmomma41]

I got these two (along with two others) at the end of July. They came out of the "pullets" bin at the farm store. Attila the Hen (with the tiny comb) has always been at least a few days further along in her development than Jabba the Hen. However, all of a sudden, Jabba's comb and waddle are MUCH more developed. She also has a much thicker growth of feet feathers, but her tail is still very fluffy. Could she be a he?

The one on the right is a cockerel for sure. They are beautiful!

Were they day olds when you got them? End of July would have them about seven weeks; they look a bit older.

Regardless of age, Jabba definitely looks like a fella to me.

They were still floofs, so maybe a week or less is my guess. Jabba's legs are also quite a bit thicker than Attila's.

Thanks! I wouldn't be mad if Jabba turns out to be a dude. I lost my rooster, Foghorn, earlier this summer.

My in-town rooster was a Light Brahma. He was a laid-back, easygoing fellow with a deep, mellow crow.

New evidence in favor of Jabba being a dude...Jabba's tail is still very fluffy and curved. The others all have straight tails.
