What gender? 11 week old mystery chick

[notley04]

This is an 11 week old mystery chick. I was told it was a brahma and it is probably part brahma. It's comb started getting pink around 5 weeks old. It's very docile and doesn't chest bump like some of the other suspected roosters I have. I don't see any pointed hackle or saddle feathers either. Is it for sure a cockerel? This is my first ever flock of chickens so I'm just not sure how to decipher this one.

Cockerel.

I don’t think the comb is super large for that age but because of the brassy coloring on the shoulders I’m going to say cockerel

 

[Rhodebar Lover]

Cockerel.

I agree

Thank you all! So, a cockerel doesn't necessarily chest bump or be dominant to other chicks his age?

Not necessarily. Just like some pullets will chest bump and spar more than cockerels of the same age.

I think Brahmas are supposed to be pretty chill.
