For 6 weeks old though a cockerel would have a lot more red in the comb which this chick is devoid of. Maybe not super bright red but there should be some redness. Since there is none though I would be very surprised if this chick turns out to be a cockerel instead of a pullet.
Brahma are a slow maturing breed so they likely dont start showing until about 10 weeks , 6 weeks is early for a lot of birds.Yeah, at that age it should be pretty evident if they are a cockerel cause their combs and wattles will not only be bigger than the rest but also red. Pullets will have some comb growth but it won't be as large nor will it be nearly as red.
100% cockerel as someone with Brahma experience in rare varietiesHere are close up pictures of my big Brahma and the comb.
