Definitely looks like a pullet to me with the speckled pale chest and even the stance. It is my first year with Faverolles. I also can’t find any pics online of a Faverolles cockerel/rooster with pale leg feathers. They are always black. My current definite cockerel (and I ordered one) sprouted...
Yes! This is my first time with them, too. I had one little chick that was darker than the others, and had ordered one cockerel. I asked the hatchery if he was my male, and they assured me he was. I have been anxiously watching the supplied pullets for ones that were wrongly sexed. 😂
His black...
Thank you! I have had chickens for around 14 years I guess (beginning of year fourteen started in March), but never Faverolles. They reminded me of Easter Eggers and Ameraucanas I have had, and I wanted a sweet bird that was easy to tame so I would have a good flock to share with grandkids. A...
My Salmon Faverolles are just over three weeks old, and two days ago I noticed black leg feathers on my suspected cockerel. Going through Google searches of Salmon Faverolles pictures, I never find black leg feathers on hens. I ordered one cockerel and six pullets, but over a decade ago the...
I just noticed one of my 2-1/2 week old chicks has black leg feathers. I ordered one cockerel and six pullets, still waiting to see how accurate the hatchery is. Are black legs male?
I will have to take a better picture of her than the one that was on my mobile phone (it has never worked right since its swim in the Current River). I can send you the link to my FB photos after I upload it, if that's okay?
I actually have thought of that, especially if I get the diaper thing worked out. I'm sure that my son would love to have me take her to his science class...LOL
I was wondering if they would let me take her to our women's retreat this fall or if that would be considered bringing too much of my...
Would you believe I got my nastiest rag towel, folded it up, put it on the arm rest and took Maria with me to meet my son's step-mother (they finally have a weekend free to see him)? She was good most of the trip, though got a little freaky in the lights (more awake and exploring than anything...
Yes, the first time I realized Maria had problems we didn't even have the chicken coop built. They were a couple of weeks old and one day when I went to feed them she came running over to me and jumped on me as I was reaching into their box. I took her out for a while. When I went to put her...
I started with chickens this past year. I've got a broad assortment (people with a rescue mentality should not be allowed in feed stores on "chick days"), including austrolorps, silver-laced wyandottes, barred rocks, ameraucanas and five assorted bantams. Everyone has integrated pretty well...
