PLEASE tell me this isn't a cockerel!!!!

Brahmas mature later. Some breeds mature faster some slower. Comb is HUGE! Just like how you cannot compare leghorns with welsummers.

Guess I have a different opinion.

I have not had the best luck with cockerels so far. I have a 7 week old light brahma who is starting to look.... suspicious. Is this a HE???

F is the pin bones, put you fingers in between them, tell me how many you can fit.

I’d wager that he is a he. This isn’t exact. But I was gifted a Brahma RIR cross rooster we names Tatunka. He was about 9 weeks old and he looked a lot like yours. The Brahma pea comb can be deceiving. It seems smaller than you’d expect.

Look at the face. Comb is not that big, and wattles are not that big. No bright red coloring (at this age you should see some bright red). Has female facial structure. i do agree there is some saddle feathers, but it can still be a female. If it had a tail, it would be easier.

Um, saddle feathers = definitely a male.
And he has a pea comb- it’s not gonna be huge. But it is red.

At this age that means legitimately nothing because there’s no difference between genders in pelvic structure at that age. Females aren’t ready to lay, so they don’t have the 2 finger thing.

It looks like a cock to me as well...sorry. Wait till he crows, so they say.
