Partridge Brahma Chick, Hen or Roo

7 week old Brahma - Thought hen at first but there's been a bit of comb growth in the past few weeks so would appreciate any responses on the gender

It looks like a pullet are you sure it's 7 weeks old? Looks younger imo

Thanks for the reply
Definitely 7 weeks - I hatched it myself and hatch date is 13th April
It has been feathering a lot slower than the other breeds but I presumed it was just because brahmas are a slow feathering breed!

Oh ok definitely a pullet then.
Sorry lol the ones I just had feathered quickly so I wasn't sure.

Can you get better breast shots?
As they grow in their adult colorations, they're pattern-sexable, and this looks like a male.

Not a lot of breast feathers just yet - I was looking out for reddish brown breast feathers that might mean a roo, but none come through yet!

Not very good pics sorry

Update: Approaching 9 weeks now and still not a lot of breast feathers, but comb is much more developed. Thinking cockerel now. Hopefully someone can disprove me?

I think it is a cockerel.

Cockerel for sure
