HELP with young birds gender

[elizabethjg]

This light brahma "Fancy" was bought at the feed store as a three day old chick. She has looked like a pullet for her entire life, and she's 3 months old. I feel like these pointed tail feathers appeared out of no where! Girl or boy?

It's hard to tell, I can't see any shiny feathers on him/her. If it's a boy you would see shiny feathers on the neck and tail, if you don't see any yet keep a look out for the next month, if there is none by then and its comb and waddles get no bigger it should be a female.

With that amount of comb development, it's a cockerel. Brahmas are very slow to mature. It takes a while for the male specific feathering to show up.

Actually I wouldn't determine that just yet, I had a light brahma and it developed a red comb like that early too, but it turned out to be a girl.

I think it is a cockerel.
