Light Brahma Rooster or hen?

[Flario12]

I got a bunch on babies 10 weeks ago and 3 if them are light brahmas. I know that one BA that I have is a roo and im quite happy with that. But i think a brahma might be a rooster too. Could someone help me out, these are my first brahmas

I have one of the same breed only 2 weeks younger and he has a much larger red comb and lots of red on his face.

That would lead me to believe either yours is a pullet or they are both cockerels and mine is more mature, lol.

He is too young to have male feathering.

He is too young to have male feathering.

what age do they display the male feathering? would this be true of the dark brahmas too, even though the males look completely different when mature? i have a few darks that have penciling right now buy they are only about 8 weeks old. is it possible to still grow out of that?

Around 12 weeks they grow it in. The only thing is dark brahmas start growing in their male colors right away. The male saddle feathers doesn't start until the 12 weeks, and that's the feathering that @Crazy for Chickens! is talking about.

Looks like a boy to me too. Pretty red in the comb for a 10 week old.
