    Roo or pullet?

    I have a 3 week old Salmon Faverolle, I'm thinking it's a boy, but I need confirmation. It's from a breeder, who has very nicely colored SF, so the odds of it being a dark female IMO are slim but still holding out hope it's a hen. Thoughts?

    Straight Run Buff Orpingtons and Rhode Island Reds

    So, about 6 weeks ago we got 12 straight run chicks from Tractor Supply Co. We got 6 RIR and 6 Orpington. Now, I get the feeling I may only have about two hens of each kind 😅 I’ll share some pictures, and you guys can let me know what you think!
