10 week old light brahma "pullet" from tractor supply. I only have one brahma so comparing to another brahma is not possible. "She" was in a carrier in the house because I was washing "her" feet because it's been raining nonstop for 2 weeks. I have my suspicions. But I have seen brahma hens have red combs at 10 weeks so I'm very confused lol.

The comb seems small even if it is colorful. I'd give it more time. Within a few weeks cockerels will show male specific feathering, so maybe wait until then while watching the comb for growth.
I have a almost 9 week old light brahma that i can not tell if its a cockerel or not. Its face is pretty pink/red and has like little wattles but its comb is the same as it was it hasnt gotten any bigger. what male specific feathering is there on brahmas i dont know how to tell, but the chick feathered out pretty quickly which is leading me to believe mine isnt a cockerel i just want a second opinion
