Pullet or cockerel?

[OreoH]

Hi everyone, this is my Nugget. I am 80% sure he is a cockerel. He was the last to feather out, and he is still getting those last few feathers. He hates being touched, and he always waits for everyone else to get in the coop before he goes in. However, he is now 4 months old, and I still have not heard a crow. The coop is pretty close to the house, so I think I would've heard it if it happened. I haven't noticed him being louder than the others, either. Though he is not the most feathered, he is the most dense. He weighs maybe a little less than a pound more than the others.

Any ideas on gender? Thanks!

Pullet. If this is a dark brahma like I think it is, then that coloring says pullet.

He's a pullet? SHE'S a pullet? Amazing. I don't even know what to think. I've been calling him a little boy since he was 5 weeks old. She. Thank you!

What a gorgeous bird! ❤ I agree with the others that it's a female.

Yep, a pullet.

Is that what's called double silver penciled ? or am I mistaken?

Thank you for all the replies! Does anyone know why SHE feathers so much slower than the others? And why her saddle feathers are very curly?

What other breeds do you have? Brahmas are very slow to mature.
