Light brahma pullet or cockerel?

[Ol Grey Mare]

Thank you! So now I'm I'm sure he is a he... Do I keep him? I live on 12 acres so that's not a problem but I have to daughters and goats - is this breed known to be aggressive? Since he will be huge! And can we still eat the eggs?

I would keep him and see how his personality develops - there is always time to be rid of him later if it becomes necessary. You can still eat any eggs your hens lay, just be sure to gather them regularly to prevent your hens from "setting" them which is when development starts - there is no reason not to eat fertilized eggs.

Brahmas at known as gentle giants, that not to say yu don't get the occasionally mean one, but there Is no reason you can't test it out. And nothing worh with eating fertilized eggs, they don't taste any different

both of my lights are 11 weeks old and were bought as girls, but im seeing a size difference as well as differences in the combs, waddles and earlobes. the one in the back is one I can see little to no waddles or comb or at least not like the one in the foreground , opinions?

This is the sweet Miss Gracie, except now i wonder if i need to call her/him Garrett? "G" is in the house because G was sniffly so G is now spoiled rotten. G is the sweetest, most affectionite chicken i have ever had, lets the kids and i cart he/ she around like a lap dog. G acts like a hen, G squats down when petted like my hen Sky does. But recent posts have made me wonder. Here are more pics... Please help.

S/he is light brahma. Sounds like my silkies do, Reminds me of a lil trumpet player.

No idea how old he or she is. Recently got G at an auction.

G is an absolute sugar so i am good either way. Just need to know so i will know how to house her outside with the others.
