Pullet or cockerel?

[904Gothchickenlady]

I have a batch of 6 five week old Ayam Cemani. Was wondering what everyone's thoughts is on this one. Pullet or cockerel?

Might be a tad young-but I would lean towards cockerel (but no expert here)

I would wait another week or so. The cockerels will developer large combs early on. This one may not have started developing quite yet.

7 to 8 week early developing cockerel.

Here he is at 5/6 weeks.

With that comb, upright posture, and somewhat heavy legs that looks like a cockerel to me. Compare his legs to the other chicks. You will probably see a difference.

It's one of the only ones that let me touch it voluntarily so thinking you're right. Which makes me sad as that might mean he can't stay. Time will tell I suppose.

Ya the comb is what made me think it. And why I can differentiate it. Sigh
