Is this a rooster? :(

When I placed my order for chicks in the spring, I ordered a bantam assortment. This is one of the ones I got and it just kept growing and growing and now is all legs and nicknamed bigfoot LOL. I am hoping its not, since I already have a rooster

ETA: She was hatched April 22, 2009

Here she is next to a cochin (to show size)

Bigfoot lives!!

My DD says "innocent until proven cockeral"!

The brahma is a Cockerel...Sorry!

Maybe you got a light Brahma? Are Brahma bantams bigger than other bantams?

 

[nicalandia]

its a BOY and its NOT a bantam....

I was afraid she was a he

I know some bantam huh?? Does anyone have 2 roos living together in peace? These two were hatched the same day and raised together

I believe I've read that Brahmas are a pretty laid back breed... What is the other breed rooster? I had 3 roosters grow up together and live in peace, a Barred Rock, a Dutch bantam, and a Japanese bantam.

I'm no pro on sexing brahmas (I'm actually trying to figure out my 7 week old brahma baby), but this brahma is 15 weeks old - almost old enough to lay (well... if it were another breed - don't know about brahma laying age). Wouldn't a 15 week old chicken have a red comb & wattles or are the brahmas a lot slower in that area?

To the OP - do you happen to have any pictures of your brahma when it was between 6-9 weeks old?

Those saddle feathers are looking on the pointy side...you may have a roo.

My other roo is a GL wyandotte. They of course were all ordered as hens

All my chickens are super friendly. As soon as they see me the whole flock, geese & ducks included, with the turkey leading the pack run to see me

Bigfoot is really friendly and he and the rest of my chickens eat out of our hands and we can pick most of the up too

I don't have any other pics
