Ayam Cemani Peeps

[Ms Biddy]

Aw, thank you! I got them from a lady who has a breeding flock locally. I think I remember you mentioning yours in another thread. Do you have pictures posted? I love them too!

Here's an updated pic of 1, 2 and 3. I didn't get a good photo of the 4th. I'm pretty sure I have 3 pullets and 1 cockerel, unless any are going to be late bloomers. The darkest chick has a badly sprigged comb I would love to eventually have a trio or quad that was breeding quality, but those individual birds seem like needles in the haystack.

More of the same...

Your babies are beautiful! Please post more recent photos. I got Ayam Cemani chicks for Christmas and am also wondering about their sex. 4 weeks old now.

 

[Ms Biddy]

Thank you @mf1sh I'll try to get an updated photo to post. They look pretty much the same, I still think 3 pullets and 1 cockerel.

Have you posted photos of yours? You're welcome to add them here or in a new thread. If you do, will you tag me? I hate to miss Ayam Cemani posts.

Here is my cockerel. He's cute but not a deep true black unfortunately. You can see a pullet behind him that's much darker.

Here are a couple that I think are pullets.

Here you can see I've raised them with marans and ameraucanas. I've got a monochromatic theme in this pen

3 looks male. Hard to tell with the others because, well black on black.

Yes, I'm mostly going on comb size at this point. With more time, feather features should add more clues. I want more of these guys but I've already brooded 2 batches of winter chicks and a 3rd batch won't fly. Maybe in spring!

I think one of my 3 Ayam Cemani babies is a roo. Look at that comb! 7 weeks old now.
