Could this be a light brahma?

So upon further inspection, there are only 4 toes

Darn. I was trying to figure out more gender than breed, but without a breed, that makes it harder

How old is it?

Since it looks fully feathered, and the comb is still pale in color, I'm inclined toward pullet. It could still be a slow-maturing cockerel, but it does not look obviously male at this point.

If you really want gender, then ask directly about gender-- there are plenty of cases where the breed is no help in figuring out the gender.

In that case, it might be a Light Brahma. I still feel that the black & white is arranged a little bit wrong, but that might change as the chick grows, or it might be a little bit mismarked.

A Brahma should never have 5 toes, but everything else I'm seeing is within the range I would expect from a hatchery-quality Light Brahma.

Sorry. I was asking about breed and gender in another post. We got this chick on Feb 13th. My guess would be it was almost a week old at that point so approximately 8 weeks now.
It was in a bin with assorted bantams, polish and salon faverolles. We initially thought it was a male faverolle because of the different coloring than the other faverolle we got.

I hadn't seen that post, so I only knew what this thread said.

At 8 weeks, I think it is likely a female, but I wouldn't be certain until it is a few months older yet. (I've seen a few that kept everyone guessing for almost 6 months, but most become clear at a much younger age.)

Brahmas do come in bantam size as well as large size, so it might be a Light Brahma Bantam (depending on what size it grows up to be.)
