he's really pretty... You just HAVE to keep him

Just maybe this is a female. The stance says female and male dark brahma's have zero penciling from what I can see. Your chick has penciling on the wings. Some female Cochins develop reddened combs and wattles early. I think there is some hope. Good luck with this beauty.

I am too new to chickens to have any idea but I have read a few accounts of people giving their "cockerel" to a friend only to learn later that he was laying 2-3 eggs per week.

Keep him/her until you are sure!

I agree too early to be sure. It does kinda look like saddle feathers to me though.

Thanks loads guys, I really appreciate you all taking the time to advise me.

I was let to believe he/she was a full Brahma but it really doesn't matter to me as I don't breed anyway, they are just pets.
There is no way I can keep him if he is a boy as I live in a built up area and my neighbours would hate me! I would rather rehome sooner rather than later as I am already way too attached to him so he would be better going as soon as it is a definite as to what gender he is. Keep your fingers crossed for me folks

I will keep hold of him for a bit longer while there is any sort of doubt though as I would hate to give him away if he was a girl.

He is the sweetest chicken ever, he loves cuddles and comes running as soon as he hears the door open, probably in the hope of treats but I can dream that it's because he loves me!
