I’m gonna say hen, the bird has rounded saddle feathers, unlike cockerels. Yes red comb and wattles but some hens are like that. Granted I’m not an expert but I’m guessing hen.

Thats what I think to I wanted to here other people thoughts to.

What do you mean.

What do you mean.

Brahmas are a very slow maturing breed females wont have any comb at 12 weeks and males dont get saddle feather until about 6-8 months old

I’m going to guess cockerel. I have only had 2 Brahma one of each gender. Here is a the best picture I have of my pair at 12 weeks as you can see the pullet has almost no noticeable comb or wattles. Sorry it’s not a close up but it’s the best I have at that age.

At 12 weeks that's a cockerel.

I have two cockerels in that case. They have been together since chicks. one is the light Brahma the other is either a welsummer or a mixed breed with welsummer in it. the Brahma is about 4 weeks older can they live together or will I have to get rid of one. here is the imformation on the living space
The run is about 225 square feet and the hen house is 86 square feet and 8.5 feet tale with and we have 8 laying hens and 4 laying/meat hens.

Good to know, I only had one light Brahma and she martyred quickly if I remember correctly.
