I have 6 Salmon Faverolle chicks. They are just 2 weeks old today, but my understanding is that you can differentiate between the sexes by color. These guys are hatchery chicks, not SQ, so I don't know how correct their coloring is. I think I have 3 pullets and 3 cockerels. I don't know if you can feather sex SF or not, but the 3 girl suspects have longer wing feathers. The 3 "boys" have shorter wings and darker feathers. Thought I'd see what you experts out there think!
Oh, and even though it's hard to tell in the pics, they all have that crazy 5th toe, feathered legs and adorable little muffs.
First is "Luna." She is the only one I can tell apart because she had really deformed feet when we got her. I taped them and it really helped one foot. The other foot is still pretty crooked, but she isn't walking on it like a fist anymore and doesn't seem bothered by it.
Next up, pullet suspect #2:
And the third "girl" --
And now "boy" #1 (see what I mean by the difference in wing feathers?)--
"Boy" ? #2 --
And last "boy" --
Can't wait to hear what everyone thinks. Please tell me I have at least ONE pullet, lol!!
