Salmon Faverolles - male or female?

I’m pretty sure I already know the answer, but is this Salmon Faverolles chick a roo? I’ve heard black feathering automatically tells you it is…if so, Laura needs a name change!

Some hatchery bred pullets can be quite dark, but most likely that chick is a cockerel.

Looking like a cockerel, maybe Laura needs to be called Luke

That comb looks pretty pink for that age too. I vote cockerel.

Cockerel is my vote!

I have 2 Faverolle I think they are both pullets but might be too soon to tell … they are going on 3 weeks old.

Mine was three weeks old in the above photo as well! Based on their coloring it looks to me like you have pullets The comb on mine was also already turning raspberry red. Here’s what he looks like now at 7 weeks old:
