8-week old Ayam Cemani comb, normal? And what gender?

[Katz103]

Hi - I've noticed that some of my Ayam Cemani chicks have a gap in their comb. Fully black, oyster tongue, from good quality stock. There are no side sprigs. I haven't been able to find anything about this. Does anyone know what causes it? And is this 8-week old a pullet or a cockerel? Thanks!

It's just a comb defect. If you want to breed further, don't use the birds that have it, unless your other birds have greater flaws.
Also, looks like a cockerel.
