Cockerel? fizzles are so hard, could be a Pullet about to lay.

S/he acts very hen/like, but with the comb and wattles I assumed rooster. Guess I’ll have to wait and see! Thanks!

Maybe play a video of a rooster crowing to see how it responds. I would lean towards Pullet if it hasn't crowed yet but those wattles are pretty big, you should be getting eggs any day if it's a girl.

Agree, this one is tricky. Any way you can get a good look at the saddle area? Even though this bird is frizzled, saddle feathers should still be pointy if it is a male. Just can't tell in the photo.

Does this work?

Sorry, I can not honestly tell. I think I see pointy saddle feathers. What do you see yourself? Any pointy feathers at the base of the tail? Agree you will likely have to wait it out. Should not be much longer.
Beautiful bird.

So I *think* this one might be a hen. I have gotten some smaller tan eggs and I can’t imagine them coming from one of my Brahmas and I saw a roo mounting it this morning….
