You'll probably have to wait just a while longer to know for sure, but it looks like you could have a rooster there.

That's what someone I. The other cemani discussion forum said. The person who bred them thought it was a hen lol. This was her very first batch of cemanis so she assume hens could have big combs too

None of my hens have big combs. Give it a little bit yet, maybe it will be a hen.

Has anybody out there in Cemani-land ever seen this happen before when breeding Ayam Cemani?View attachment 1048147 View attachment 1048149 View attachment 1048150

Nope, haven't seen anything quite like that... where did you source your line from?

Greenfire Farms. I have gotten some really perfect, beautiful birds from their line. It has taken some effort, but well worth it. He/she is the only one of dozens that have come out like that. It is actually a very pretty little chick. It will get thrown in with the mix flock and definitely kept away from breeders.

IMO, there's no such thing as a perfect bird in any variety of any breed, thus the reason for illustrations used in the SOP book...

Just was curious, have seen some get pure white feathered birds, just not with other color as well...

Though there was a string of bad scammers a while back...
