Sexing Ayam Cemanis

[ADARCEY985]

My theory on comb sexing Ayam Cemainis continued;

Here are my Cemanis on their 2 week anniversary. It is impressive how much change has occurred in seven days with respect to their combs. At this point I will without question identify my green banded Cemani as a cockerel, "Alejandro" (I made the same prediction on week 1). His comb already has deep serrations, high points & each point is well defined.

I have taken it a step farther & have indicated which ones I feel are male/female. However, even though I labeled my white (#5) banded Cemani a female, I think there is still a chance it might change. Its points are somewhat well defined however he/she might need more time. I am almost certain I can make an accurate assessment on he/she's 3rd week anniversary.

Please give me your thoughts.

Thank you.

I recently read up on the sexing of these and have found information that if you gentle turn the bird over on it back In your hand... if it kicks alot and trys to turn over it is a rooster and if it lays back docile it is a hen

Well, here are the first offspring from the Cemanis above at about 6 wks. So far they look pretty good although time will tell. I should have another hatch in about 2-3 wks.

The ones with tails curving down are those cockerel or pullet? And then the tails that are more pointy and stick out cockerel or pullet? I have some cemanis and sumatras same size I’m trying to sex.

Mine are about this size, one has the tiniest bit bigger of a comb and up pointed tail, and the other has same size tail, but slanted down. In addition, they chest bump each other all day. The obvious cockerel is much more aggressive but I'm worried they may just both be cockerels. Any thoughts after your years of experience with the black little crazies?

The only clue at this stage is that 75 percent male are much more flighty than female. Females tend to be very receptive and gentle.

Thank you. That's helpful! So a female could possibly look just like the obvious roo, size comb and tail? She is more laid back, doesn't come up, doesnt try to bite me, he's just a testosterone cake if I've ever seen one! Her tail is slightly more down and his comb is the tiniest bit taller. I could t upload photos before but it's allowing me now. 1st photo is crowing, hopping, eyeballing roo

The Cemani on the left is definitely a roo.
I'm about 85 percent the one on the right is a pullet.
