Saturday will be 4 weeks that we have them. They looked like this when we got them

Ok, so I would guess maybe 5 weeks old? So I would say the Brahma is a cockerel, but I could totally be wrong.

I know the wait is unbearable but for Brahmas, sometimes you don’t know until they lay. Hay they are very late to mature... I to have a Brahma (cupcake, see profile) but I still don’t know the gender, and cupcake is 9 weeks today...

Anyway, I wish you luck!

Thank you. My daughter is going to be really sad if we have to give it away worse that we have to wait so long

As I’ve said, I hate the waiting. It’s basically the only thing on my mind right now... I just keep reminding myself to take a deep breath, and it won’t be the end of the world. I can’t keep cockerel, so that makes it extra sad for me... can you keep cockerels where you are?

Actually, you probably wouldn’t want to keep a cockerel if you have kids. Roosters are mean, and no matter how sweet they are as baby’s, wait for their hormones to kick in. It can get pretty ugly.

I can not either. Thankfully a friend that is a wildlife rehabilitator said she would take a roo if I ended up with one. Some say my Orpington looks like a roo too. We only have 3! We live where we cant have them and we are on .17 so everyone would know

The 2 cuddly are my Orp and my Brahma. My Easter Egger will land on you but her terms lol

Honestly, since it’s only about 5 or 6 weeks, I’m still going with cockerel. (Sorry!)

But, that being said, I am no where near professional. (I just try and help people the best I can, and I apologized I give out false information, though it’s never on purpose.)

That comb still looks pretty reddish and large for that age. I have a pullet/cockerel who looks about like that, but is now 8 weeks.

Again, I think it would be best to wait at least a few more weeks, and hopefully gain other people’s input.

That's not necessarily true. I have two cockerel that are almost 1 year old, and they are both super sweet.
