What breed is this?

Update: I think he is a cockerel. I checked the tail feathers and there long and thin. His wattle and comb have also gotten fairly red. His spurs have also started developing, I know hens get spurs aswell. But usually not this early. His feet look large but there's no other chickens at his age to base him off so might not be definitely.

The farmer I got him off had some brahmas so he could definitely be a brahma cross. Any guesses on his age.

Here's some better photos

He looks quite young. I’d hazard a rough guess somewhere around 2 or 3 months? He’s very pretty though! You definitely scored a handsome fella.
 
I think he/she’s definitely a Brahma mix. I’m not convinced he’s a cockerel, as in the new photos his feathers don’t look as dark and shiny. He’s definitely a bit scruffy and possibly malnourished, as his comb doesn’t look good and he’s missing quite a few feathers. It’ll be easier to tell once he gets those new feathers in and has some good food to fatten him up a bit. :)
 
The possibility of being part brahma explains the pea comb. I didn't notice that the bird didn't have a single comb. So maybe brahma crossed with rhode island red or some red breed.

Here's some better photos of him now. He's still missing some feathers but definitely growing more

His comb has grown a lot and his tail feathers are getting quite long. Also he acts a lot like a roo now. He is always watching for predators and stands very upright.
