Hello!

It’s that time of year and I am starting to suspect some of our chicks are boys. I’d love some insight because I am new to some of these breeds and how they develop.

#1 - Frizzle Black Copper Marans

#2 - BCM x Ameraucana

#3 - Frizzle BCM X Ameraucana

#4 - Laced Orpington (this one is confusing to me)

#5 - Ayam Cemani (good quality) Also super confused by this one

What do you think? I’m 99% sure the first 3 are boys, but the last two are hard.

Well, I think all are boys.

However, #4 is not a 'laced' orpington (it has no lacing in its feathers) and #5 isn't a good quality ayam cemani. I suspect it's not even a purebred ayam cemani, because even my cull chicks that hatch with orange toes never have pink combs like that. Plus a good quality one isn't going to have orange toe tips like that one does.

The laced was a project and I was told the lacing will be incomplete, and the ayam is purebred, but was a packing peanut because of the color leaking. We only keep pets, so that doesn’t matter to me, but good to know!
