Have i been fooled by this Brahma? Rooster or Pullet?

[clinto]

i am new to chicken keeping and i was told all of my chickens were hens. Until this morning i had no doubt that i was the father to 10 hens. Then out of nowhere a very weak and horse sounding crow came out of my coop. They were still locked up and i didnt see the culprit. I think i know who it could be though. What do you all think? The brahma is 16 weeks now and huge. The tail feathers kind of hang to one side or the other alot too but do go up at a 45 degree angle when straight. not sure what that means.

I'm no expert but that sure looks like a handsome Light Brahma rooster to me. The feathers falling off to the side near the tail are probably saddle feathers, which hens never have. Very pleasant setting you have there!

Your Brahma is a cockerel.

Agreed; definitely a cockerel. Sorry. (

Well.... We were considering getting a rooster anyway so I guess it happened faster than expected. Thanks for your input everyone.
