She is awesome! Full of personality. Took some work to warm her up to me as a chick but now she is very treat motivated, enjoys being held and her beard pet, and is a chatty chicken. Faverolles are cute & curious 💛 Love them

Updated photo-almost 14 weeks.

Hatched on Oct 8 so almost 11 weeks.

The blue gal? Is a egg I hatched from a silver laced red Wyandotte hen and a blue Cochin rooster. The splash of red on the wing just popped. Interested to see how she grows up.

Thank you! My husband made it up as he built! 😂:bow

The snow was the final touch needed for decorating and pecking the halls of our Cluckingham Palace. The real judges here are perched waiting for photo session to be over to get their treats. Merry Christmas to all! 🎄

Yes they hatched August 12 & 13, 2021-only 8 weeks. Yes the SF are sweet pullets. I am curious about blue/grey olive egger and barred rock/olive egger mix.

What tells you it is a cockerel? I would like to learn. ☺️

Your pullet is beautiful. Her feathers fit in beautifully with all the Fall foliage right now. The birds I posted pictures of are only 8 wks like I typed in title… not 11 like I mistakingly typed in body of message. That probably makes a difference? More developed pea combs cockerel?

So this one comb is less red but feathers look same to me so do I have two cockerels?

I would like to learn. What characteristics do you see that point you to cockerel?

Any guesses on what this 11 week old chick might be? Mom is an Olive egger and rooster is a barred rock. As a hatchling this chick had a black spot on it’s head so I thought pullet but understand with mixed breeds that does not count. It is a spunky chicken always ready to square off.
