Marshmallow is still very young but I’m noticing copper colored feathers on her. “Her” dad is a light Brahma I have no idea who “her” mom is. Am I overthinking or is she a he?

What age and how's the comb? I wouldn't say cockerel just yet.
She hatched july 24th- much too early to tell and the comb is looking small and redish but it’s the dark brown in the feather that’s getting to me (old-ish photos)

How old is she now, four weeks? Her comb is still tiny and pale, and there’s not much leakage. I wouldn’t give up hope! Post pictures in a couple weeks, and it may be easier to tell. Brahmas are slow developers, so “she” could very well be a he, you’ll just have to wait and see.

Ooo, I rhymed 😏

I think closer to two months let me check my photos. Her comb is redder just.. small I’ll go get a better photo of that too forgot combs tell genders too not just feathers
