Light Brahma - 9 weeks - girl or boy?? Thanks!!

[SilkiesForEver]

Appears to be an adorable pullet for now! But Brahmas are difficult to sex, so I wouldn't conclude pullet yet. Only time will tell...

I purchased two Brahma chicks at the feestore.. supposed to be one male and one female. The "supposed to be" female has passed the male in growing. She barely has any large patches of down, and overall is bigger then he is. Her comb is more red as well. Do Brahma females grow faster than males?

Generally, females of all breeds of chickens feather in quicker than the males. Males, though, grow bigger, so if one is larger than the other but isn't as well feathered, you could have a male.
