Light Brahmas-Cockerel or pullet?

[hollytruitt]

We have 6 Light Brahmas. All supposed to be pullets. We have one that we are not sure of but she ticks all the boxes being a pullet including being a top "dog" in the group. Frist picture is the pullet. The rest is the questionable one.

You are correct. It's a cockerel

two more pictures. What is throwing me off is the feathers are rounded like the rest. Its only the comb that makes it questionable. No crowing yet.

Yeah usually they aren't this obvious with the hackles being so black, so young. a cockerel and a nice looking one at that.

Only 7 weeks old. Hope he stays nice to the girls and us. Hoping!!

I checked with other people with Brahmas. They said she is a girl due to the feathers. So here is a closer look to the tails and top. Hens do get a small red comb and wattles(small) of this breed.

This is a cockerel (if it is the same bird pictured up there).
@fluffycrow what do you think?

You wouldn't see saddle and hackle feathers from a 7 week old. Those come at around 12 weeks
