Any idea on their gender please
The keep acting like male and when I check some of the sexing techniques I will say they are both females and for like a month now they’ve been making a nest

They have a feminine look to me so maybe you do have 2 hens. :confused: No way to tell, unless they lay eggs.

I love my hens and wish I had more of them. The cockbirds are frequently puffing up, dancing and fighting! Entertaining and very annoying at the same time. LOL
So if these two get along well together with little drama, more than likely they are hens, IMO.

They will be on the nest together sometime but will fight and won’t even stay close to each other sometimes
 
They look like hens. But the only way to really tell is by checking the vent and if they lay eggs.
I've had birds pair up together and they will be two cocks or two hens. Not something too uncommon to happen.

Hello there! What techniques are you using? How old are your birds? do any of them have black flicking on their tails? Or brown flecking? If you can answer these questions, I can help you some more.


Btw, flecking is black or brown speckles on the tail. It bassicly looks like spilled ink. Not all birds have it, but if they do, Brown is hens and black is males. males have it more than hens. One of the birds in this picture has flecking, do you know what gender it is?

Wouldn't the flecked bird be a cock since they carry 2 colors where a hen carries 1?
Yes, it is a cock. But not because cocks carry 2 colors, although they do carry two colors. Males have blue\black flecks on their wingtips and tail. Females have brown flecks in the same spots. Does this make sense! The bird in the picture has bluish black flecks. Which makes it a male.
