Silkie and Cemanis gender

[Painted Calls]

All look like pullets to me as well.

you’re thinking the one with the purple foot band is a cockerel right? That’s the one i was thinking. Orange i was sure was a girl, but purple and blue i wasn’t sure

Yes. Purple has the largest crest.

At 20 weeks, the AC's would both be pullets.

 

[EmmaRainboe]

I think they are all girls.

 

[ShannonsChimkens]

This is a Cemani cockerel at 10 weeks.

 

[Ruthster55]

OK. If they’re 20 weeks, they would all be girls.

 

[ShannonsChimkens]

Agreed!

One thing I noticed is the Cemanis vary greatly on laying. One of my hens laid REALLY early, the other was a couple months later. Also their frequency varies as well. The one that started laying early lays daily. The other is every three days or so. Pretty birds you have.

You have at least 1 cemani cockerel if not 2. I don't know why some guys said all pullets... I do not see anything like that anywhere.
Silkie is definitely a pullet

 

[ShannonsChimkens]

At 20 weeks, they are female. If they were 8 weeks old, I would think otherwise. Please compare comb shape and size to the 10 week old cockerel. This persons Cemanis have a flatter/straight shaped comb compared to the very rounded cockerel comb.

Any help determining gender? Silkie hatched 7/1, so 22weeks. Cemanis (3) are 20 weeks old tomorrow.

To me your cemanis are both roosters. I'm sorry to say but your birds feathers are so confused and messy, its even hard to tell. They are expensive birds and they need a little better protein-rich food. I don't want to say anything bad, I don't want to offend, but cemanis don't look like that. My young birds are in the photos.
