Light Brahma cockerel or pullet?

[Peggysaurus]

Hello, everyone!

I have a 5 1/2 week old Light Brahma chick. I could've sworn she was a pullet, but she has a pretty distinct comb and she is more developed than the other chicks. She is also bigger than my three Isa Browns and Buff Orpington, but that could be because she is a bigger breed in general. I was trying to experiment with this batch of chicks, so I wanted to go out of my comfort zone and get a bigger breed of chicken. Is this normal for a Light Brahma? Is she just a really big pullet or cockerel?

(don't mind the messy brooder lol it was cleaning day)

Cockerel.

I'd say that is a cockerel based on the size of the comb.

It is the comb and wattle development at this young age that clinches it.

Wow. Several on fb have said mine is a Roo and yours looks much more developed than mine at about the same age. I am so confused

It is the comb and wattle development at this young age that clinches it.

Are they usually developed that much at this age?

It can vary. The wattles are clear in the OPs bird.
