Is this a Rooster or Hen?

That would make sense. It looks like it is just growing in the male feathering which means he probably just started crowing. Somebody most likely did dump him.

So sad. I'll try to find him a good home

She's been in my neighbors yard for 2 days. I'm surprised she didn't get eaten honestly.

I posted her photo in our FB group for our neighborhood. I don't mind keeping it if it's a been, I just can't have a roster here. We're wondering if someone just dumped it after finding out it was a rooster.

Many people in suburbia ordered chicks from hatcheries back in March and April without knowing their zoning regs about roosters or having a plan for cockerels.

Brahmas are a pretty nice and gentle breed. This cockerel is rather light in leg feathering so isn’t breeder-quality. Maybe could be rehomed?

Crowing can happen at any age. My sister has had 1 month old chicks try to crow and others not until they were a few months old.
I'm leaning toward rooster with the saddle feathers, the coloring, and the crow but I am by no means an expert with Brahmas.

Yea, but a lot of them will start near the time they get their feathering or a little later. That’s why I think it could have been dumped there.

I posted him up to see if I can find him a good home.

Thank you. Do I just wait to see if it happens to crow? It looks young to me. Once I caught it, it was very chill. It did start to wiggle and let out a crow, so that has me worried. We can't have rosters here.

I say just give it a little time and see if it lays an egg. I hope everything turns out for you!

Can't say I haven't heard of that happening. It's almost like ome people blame the rooster for being a rooster and not a hen. Specialty breeds can beI found new homes for, even roos. Though I don't know if brahma isthe a, specialty breed.

It's a Light Brahma cockerel.
No chance of that being a hen.
Pretty boy.

agreed, it has male specific feathering. brahmas can take a while to mature
