Is this a rooster?

[John Burch]

I have two white Brahma juvenile chickens and I am suspecting that one might be a rooster. I just want some second opinions

How old is the bird? If less than16 weeks, it's a cockerel.

I thought it was a cockerel until a year old?

They are, but only a hen would be that red if it were close to lay, about 20 weeks. So any age below 16 weeks means it a young male.

I think it’s 17 weeks

TSC said it was a girl but you know how they are. I’m just hoping it’s a hen because roosters aren’t allowed in my neighborhood

 

[John Burch]

Well I did the math and I think it is 4 and a half months to 5 months

Cockerel.

They were talking about the redness of the face.
