Can anyone give me some tips on sexing? All mine look the same so I have no clue if I have boys or girls. They are 5 weeks and I'm suspecting all boys.

At 16 weeks my Magnum is a beautiful boy.

I've noticed varying sized of my Cemanies. Two of the cockerels are rather large, while three others are smaller. Is this normal for the breed?

I was able to hatch 3 AC chicks this spring (1 male, 2 female) and I've noticed that as the male gets older, his ears are turning green. Is this normal? All the pictures of I see of ACs don't show this and I figured I'd just ask in this thread since there are people who know about this breed than I do.

Thank you.

Can someone help me figure out the breed of this hen? I thought cemani at first but Pyxis verified it's not. Thought maybe someone here could point out other black skinned breeds that she might be. She is all black but has a pink mouth and white toenail. Thanks.
