2 Salmon Favorolles... hen or roo?

[Rockhollow1009]

Hi all, I have 2 Salmon Faverolle chicks I am trying to decide if they are hens roos or one of each... I labeled them A and B. B didnt wanna cooperate for a side pic very well... A is definitely more "upright " and intil a few days ago had a noticeably larger comb but B seems to be close behind now. A Has less brown and more green tint in black feathers. B has more brown on top and white specs in feathers on side though? They are certainly slower to feather out than my crested cream legbar i got at the same time. Any guesses would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi! You have definitely roos. Hens are light, not black at all.

You have two cockerels. Male and female Salmon Favorelles are different colours. Females are mostly light brown and cream. Males are mostly black.

Agreed, two cockerels.

Yep, two cockerels. Having raised them, I can say Salmon Faverolles are wonderful roosters.
