It makes sounds that only hens make.

That much red at three months is most likely male. He's just about to hit puberty, and brahmas tend to be slower to mature anyway. And if you have an adult rooster or more dominant cockerels it's not unusual for young lower ranking cockerels to fly under the radar, so to speak.

I think it's a cockerel.

When cockerels are young, they will make the same sounds as the pullets do.

That does make a difference! At 5 months (20-24 weeks) I would have expected male specific feathering to at least have started to come in and I don't see any. At that age I'd say pullet starting to gear up for egg laying.

You will be getting no eggs from him. He's definitely a cockerel albeit slow to mature. He almost looks as if he had poor nutrition or coccidiosis which could account for his smaller size
