I got her from a breeder friend at a swap meet who said she's probably a pullet. She pinked up in the comb withing three days after I got her. She's remained the same shade of pink. THe center row of her pea comb is definitely above the other two, but I only know this distinction from sex of Ameraucanas. This is my only contact with a Brahma, so I don't know how to judge. She's submissive to other birds her age, a little snotty to me


Comb is closer to seashell pink than red. No wattle development yet. These pics were taken about 10 days ago. Wingtips have pointier feathers. saddle feathers blunt-tipped.
 
Here's mine at 6 weeks. Looks identical to yours comb and all. I have a hunch mines a pullet, there are no saddle feathers and the back feathers are full with no room for new growth.

The pullets, I noticed, usually have soft faces. The cockerels will have reddened faces while the pullets will still have white/black/other color feathers on their faces.
