I got this chick because “she” was in need of help, was in bad condition. I ignored the fact that she was probably a he just because she needed help. But now the moment I’ve been dreading… is she a he? Is there any possibility she is a she?

And if she is a he, is there any possibility he is a she? I’ve thought Cheshire was mislabeled and was actually a cockerel but he still doesn’t act like one. I can only keep one of these two if they’re both roosters to keep a stable hen to rooster ratio… I have two other roosters peacefully living together, a Swedish flower cockerel and a light Brahma rooster so I might end up selling Cheshire the buff Brahma if he is a he…. I love him to death but I also like diversity so I want to keep Ziggy(the naked neck).
My light Brahma actually loves my young Buff Brahmas, especially Cheshire. He feeds them and follows them sometimes

How old?
 
NN - cockerel, although its a bit young to be sure. How old?
Buff bird, 3-4 months old, is a pullet.
Quite young, I didn’t ask age but he seems to be just finishing feathering out. He is a runt though he was tiny compared to his siblings who were all pure breds. I’d guess at least a month?

And not exactly finished feathering out more of his wings tail and back are done
