Roo or pullet light Brahma?

Looks too dark to be a "light Brahma". Good chance it could be a "Dark Brahma". I have crossed light and dark Brahma before, and it looked slightly similar to this. Can't say for sure though until they are older... Where did you get them?
At a local farm/feed store. At what age can you generally differentiate between genders for Brahmas?

To be honest, Im not too familiar if Brahmas tend to show their genders sooner or not, but in my opinion, chicks at about 6-8 weeks, you can typically start to tell who is a pullet and who is a cockerel by comb and saddle feathers. At least in my barnyard mixed chicks, my cockerels start growing out their rooster saddle feathers by 8 weeks. Some sooner than others, and some later than others.. I have also noticed that cockerels tend to feather out a bit slower than pullets. May not be the case always? Gender IDing is pretty tough sometimes!
