Help!!! Dark Brahma Pullet/Cockerel

[Little Chix 2023]

I am freaking out.
I’ve had my doubts from the start, but I cannot own a rooster in my neighborhood.

Is this in fact a rooster?

17 week old “pullet” has been highly aggressive and mounting other hens. This morning has started full blown crowing.

I will attach some pics and hopefully a video crowing

Can you get a full body photo from the side? Looks like a cockerel in your picture, but need to see the whole body.

Yep that’s a cockerel

Cockerel. Male and female Dark Brahmas are different colors.

Here is a picture of the color difference. Male Dark Brahmas are black with white hackles and saddles, females are Silver Partridge/Penciled.

Those sure do look like saddle feathers.

Ugh. Thank you. Time to rehome

Yeah, it's unfortunately a cockerel. He's really pretty though!

I’m so sorry! Going through this now, but with an aggressive one. Keeping the Brahma and hoping his a gentleman!
