Pullet so far!! I would be surprised if it turns out to be a slow-to-mature cockerel but with Brahmas and Brahma mixes they sometimes take awhile to tell. Update when it hits about 10-12 weeks or if the comb becomes more "built-up" or gets a raised appearance before 14-16 weeks :)
 
Yeah could you?
I am not quite sure what you're looking for by a side pic. For a solid-colored Brahma mix at this age, you can only go off of comb. You can't see saddle feathers until 12 weeks and sometimes longer for slowly maturing breeds :) The pictures provided are appropriate for this age

I’m thinking roo. Could be wrong, probably am, but we’ll see.

Ok thank you! And yes I will update closer to the 10-12 week mark.
This is a picture of the other one we have that is much smaller and is a brahama mix. I’m pretty sure it’s a roo. Thoughts? It has the red 3 row pea comb

Here is a purebred Black Brahma pullet/cockerel at the exact same age and the pullet's comb is even more prominent than this bird. The first two are of the pullet and last two of the cockerel. Notice what I mean by "built-up?" :)
