Is this Light Brahma a Roo?

[freder77]

Hi, we have a Light Brahma that we think is a roo but wanted to try and confirm before we find him/her a new home, since the neighbors wouldn't be happy with us. She's almost 10 weeks old and larger than the other chickens we bought about the same time.

She is by far the most friendly and out going, but also the dominate bird of the bunch.

We're not familiar enough with identifying sexes, but we have this feeling from the limited knowledge we have that she's a rooster. Plus, today, she puffed herself up flapped her wings and made a noise that we haven't heard past chickens make.

I've attached a few photos below. Any thoughts would be appreciated. We also have an Australorp that we're not sure about. The two always seem to be standing off against each other.

Thanks!

Yes the light brahma is a rooster.
I dont know about the other one, but he has a really bright comb.

Both birds are roosters. My Australorp pullet's comb was very small until she started laying. Sorry about your luck

I have heard that Light Brahma roosters are very friendly and mellow.

Yep, a brahma roo. If you do want a roo, brahma is the breed for YOU!! (sorry about the cheesy rhyming) I want a brahma roo, too! heh, heh

Brahma Roo, I just got a pullet and she doesn't have this red in comb and wattles. He's really pretty tho. BA probably roo too.

Yup, you got a rooster there.

I hope my LB roo is half that gorgeous when he grows up.

I have a 1 yr old rooster just like him. He is one of the best roosters I have ever had, also the largest LOL. A very friendly bird.

Light Brahma is a cockerel and so is the black Jersey Giant.
