I had 8 Ayam cemani shipped in, I sold 1 rooster, currently have 4 pullets and 2 roosters, and 1 bird that is a bit younger, that not sure if rooster or pullet.

For Svart honas, I currently have 1 rooster and 3 pullets.

They are too cool! :smilewithrooster: Are there any obvious differences between the 2 breeds? Like their shape, size, extra toe, or some other way to tell them apart?

There does not seem to be a lot of difference in the 2 breeds, the Ayam are suppose to be more game bird like compared to the Svarts.

The birds I have are all around 5 months old give or take a few weeks, so I figure come spring time when they are a bit bigger and approaching a year old might be able to see some differences in size and body shape.
