what gender does this 5 month old barred rock mix look

Ok all jokes aside even if the Brahma is not the father as long as the father was not dominant white then this particular chicken is a cockerel.

If it is a pullet the father had to have the barring gene. He could of been dominate white if he only had one copy of it.
So he could of been a white or mostly white bird hiding the barring under the white.
OP did you have any roosters with any pattern with barring?

Chickenreyna has not responded in a while I wonder if she has a lot of roosters and doesn't know.

I was waiting for them to say the Brahma was the only rooster on the property.
Then I'd be really confused.
Guess the father would have feathered shanks as well.
Best bet would be on a rooster that had any color/pattern that had barring, feathered legs and most likely a single comb.

Definitely a cockerel. Excluding the fact that your bird is a sex link, look at his posture: holds his head up behind his chest rather than what most pullets/hens do, holding their head more out and in front of their chest, while still holding their heads up. His stance also looks very roosterish to me. (yup, it's not a word, but I'm using it ) As for his feathering, mixed in with his regular feathers, you can pic out the slimmer, lighter, and pointed hackle/saddle feathers coming in around his neck/wings/tail. Gorgeous little roo! Brahmas are by far one of my favorite breeds.

"Roosterish" -- I'm using that in Scrabble now that you've made it official!

In the photo OP shared it almost looks like he's hiding some barring on his legs. (Post 15)

Here is the father to it..a very leggy bantam dark brahma and a standard size barred rock mom. Only 50% BR, but it looks more like the mom. The dad to this mix was not fully matured, in this photo and i got rid of him. Was quite a bully!LOL

Thank you everyone for your opinions. I will attempt a clearer photo. It has some feathers under neath it that it still needs to shed, i am fairly certain.
