Sex of 10 week Light Brahma

[krissyweso]

Hello!

I have an almost ten week old Light Brahma that I'm pretty sure it's a cockerel. He's got a broad comb, pointed tail feathers, and his comb is a little more red than the other ten week old Light Brahma I have.

I already have four roosters in my small backyard flock, and I can't have another, so, of it's a roo, I'd like to rehome him asap (way easier to rehome a cute little thing to a nice home). SO, of like the opinions of my BYC friends.

Here are some pictures. I have two light brahmas of the same age, and I included a picture of Noodle who o an sure it's a pullet.

This is Moose.

Moose again.

This is Noodle with Moose on the right.

This is the difference is their combs. Moose's is a little more red but A LOT broader.

Thoughts?

I’d say roo, he’s bigger, has pointed feathers and his comb in brighter and bigger.

First two pics are of him and last pic is his sister.. quite a difference so I am fairly certain.. he took forever to feather

The butt-less chicken pic had me giggling, not going to lie

I'm hoping he is good to his girls because he has a goofy personality and is entertaining.. def one of my faves. He did peck at his sister brahma tho this morn so I am starting to get concerned.. he is good with us tho he runs away initially lol that lack of tail tho is hysterical

Oh and he isbthe runt of my flock lmao maybe he is just a genetic anomaly
