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

I agree most likely a male. Saddle feathers (rather their shape) are gender specific. While I personally can’t make them out in those pics, if they are there it’s definitely a boy. If you looking at the bird cannot make them out yet, there’s a tiny chance still it could be a girl. Saddles come in 3 months-ish for sure. But right now, signs lean heavily to boy.

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???

Can you get photos of the wing span, please?

I just found out my 8 week old dark Brahma is a rooster. I’d say yours is a rooster too looking at the comb. Have you noticed any shimmery green feathering? I’m attaching pics to show mine, and i circled the green shimmery feathering. I’d say cockerel for you.

I will get some more pics tomorrow, of tail, and wingspan. I will post a comparison pic as well with the other light brahma pullet. Thanks everyone! I'm new to all this and all I could see was that this one looked different than the other one.

depends.

Not really. Females won’t be any wider than males at 10 weeks.

Wings don’t matter. But otherwise, great!

Photos of the comb and back would be good as well.

the thing is dont always think the shiny green feathers always mean cockerel i have a laying hen and she has green shiny feathers

Like i said, I have a different opinion. I am allowed to have my own opinion.

It does matter.
