Ayam cemani chicks

[cityfarmer88]

I have two cemani chicks. Not sure if I have a girl and a boy or two boys. They are about 4 weeks old. Here are pictures of both and one of them already has some comb development and the other one doesn’t have much but is a bit bigger then the one with the small comb

Hello! Are you able to tell me which chick is in each picture? I think it may be easier to tell if they are labeled

The first 3 are one and the next five is the second one. Sorry looks like some of my pics didn’t load

Ok that’s alright. I’m really sorry can I ask one more thing…can you get a shot of the second chick’s head from the front, just like the first picture of the first chick??

Here’s a few more of the second one.

To me they both look like cockerels. You can also do tests to see how they react to certain things, and that might be able to tell you better. For example, you can let them wander around and drop something by them or make a loud noise. Whichever ones stand up tall and seem more cautious and aware are usually males. Whichever ones cower or try to escape are probably females. I’m not sure if it will work at four weeks (I think this test is typically done around six weeks) but you can try it. Hope this helps!

Here’s the one that’s a bit bigger but has a smaller comb. They are about 5 weeks old. Not sure if I have one girl and one boy or two boys.
