I think I know the answer but please tell me Maude is a girl. I can't keep her if she is a he

How old?

Oops sorry, that was dozy of me. He/she is 10 weeks

Rooster. Dark brahma's can be feather sexed. The girls have all penciled feathering.

Here is my dark brahma pullet at 4 months. She is 5 months and still has not turned red yet in the face or comb.

Your brahma also looks to be Cochin/brahma mix.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That's it!!! I am giving up chickens for good. I get too attached to them and they end up being boys. Is there no way it could be a girl? Pretty please?????

Also how do you know it's a cochin/brahma mix? Is it because of the intermingled brown feathers?

The tail and leg feathering and shape is Cochin along with the dark feathering. The head is all brahma. That is one beautiful chick!

I could be wrong though, but I'm pretty sure it's a boy with the redness of comb and longer wattles. I'd wait to see if he/she crows or lays an egg. Sometimes it's very difficult to sex mixes. I hope I'm wrong and that's a pullet.

People kept told me my frizzle Cochin was a roo due to lack of feathering. She didn't start feathering until 5 weeks of age. She is for sure a girl with yellow comb and no wattles at 14 weeks.

A boy for sure and not pure dark brahma.

What a gorgeous Cochin/Dark Brahma boy!! Woweee, that colorful at 10 weeks? He's going to be jaw-dropping at full plumage!

Beautiful bird, though.
