Can Ayam cemani chicks be sexed based on their wing feathers?

[Happy Hill Farmstead]

We just hatched out a mixed batch of chicks and 4 of them are Ayam cemanis, I have never vent sexed chicks before and I would love to be able to determine their gender by their wing feathers, is it possible to do with Ayam cemanis? Thanks!

Here is a cute picture of one of them

only if they're bred for it.

The answer to your question is no. You'll have to wait 6-8 weeks and go by comb and wattle development.

Unfortunately Cemanis can't be bred for wing sexing either. What Nut meant by that is a chick has to be bred for it using a fast feathering male over a slow feathering female. At that time, the feathering is only accurate to sex by in the first 24-48 hours after hatch.

I’ve never been able to sex them until a couple months.

I was hoping someone could share a secret trick for gender identification , just wishful thinking I guess . Thanks!

Any gender guesses on these two now that they are 5 weeks old?

I would guess on the last pic, the one to the right is a cockerel and the one to the left in the back is a pullet. They are so difficult, I have several that are older than yours that I still can’t determine!
