Pullet or cockerel?

Hi,

I have two chicks who I need help finding out their gender. They are both serama mix. The bigger darker one is 12 weeks old and the smaller one is going to be 5 weeks old tomorrow.

Pullets.

Here’s a closer picture of both

Pretty sure both have female specific coloring

Seramas don't have female specific colouring.

OP, these two are pullets.

Seramas the breed, no. I mean the color of the birds, these two have female specific coloring

Many feather patterns look different on the gender, such as partridge, duckwing, birchen, etc. The Serama breed has a lot of varieties since the main breeding focus tends to be on form and not color. The ABA does have a list of accepted colors for American Seramas but for Traditional or Malaysians it's not a requirement when showing.

Sorry I don't know about what the ABA says. I'm from the UK. Our seramas are Malaysian in origin as far as I'm aware and there are no standardised colours. Most I've seen (and bred) are random patterns and colourations that I've not see in other breeds. Also silkied ones which are my favourites!

Oh, I see what you mean. Thanks.
The OPs are too young to tell if they have that colouring I think.
