I feel pretty confident in saying that’s a pullet.

Are there any negative signs that you can notice? I feel like the main thing throwing me off is her waddles but then again they arent huge theyre just a little more red idk if its cause shes white or what but thats whats throwing me off

They are a bit red, but both they and her comb are pretty small, that’s why I’m thinking pullet.

I'm thinking pullet too.

I also think pullet. Honestly her entire look - stance and body and feathers etc - reads 'pullet' also. Some of the ladies can be pushy pests also. I've had to rehome a Buff Isa pullet that made me scared to go into the coop, and I may have another pushy pullet on my hands at the moment... an EE, of all things!

update: 39 days so almost at that 6 week mark and this is how the chick is looking. The comb is still roughly the same shade and hasnt gotten any more red but the waddles are starting to get a little red. I did see a video online talking about how since brahmas mature slowers males would still be pretty featherless. Whereas this chick frok what i can tell is almost feathered out mostly. Any imput is helpful

Sorry, I'm going with cockerel. I think the comb width and too much redness for a 6 week old Brahma. But it is still too early to give a really good guess for this breed, in my opinion, so hopefully we can see how he or she looks in a couple or few more weeks. They might not even show themselves until later than that.
