5 Week Old Salmon Faverolles

[ChickenChatten]

Hello!

I have three Salmon Faverolles I ordered from MPC, all ordered as pullets. They're now five weeks old, and while I think I have a fairly good idea of what gender each of them are, I've never had Salmon Faverolles before so I really have no idea what I'm doing.
And here they are! I can get more detailed pictures of combs or feathers as asked.





My thoughts are:

Chick #1: Cockerel
Chick #2: Pullet
Chick #3: Pullet

Thank you in advance!

They are all pullets. Hatchery Favs are often poorly colored.

Keesmom is correct, males would have black in wings and chest

Edited: gotta love autocorrect

Thank you so much! I'm glad that they're pullets!

Looks like my Salmon Faverolles pullet. Glad to see mine isn't the only one not growing tail feathers.

Right! I actually didn't even notice that they weren't growing tail feathers until someone pointed it out to me! I'm not sure if this is a regular thing or not, but all of mine are healthy and thriving!

Mine is 6 1/2 weeks old, definitely a girl as she has most of her feathers in with the exception of her tail. She's super happy, healthy and friendly but I thought it was crazy that there's no tail feathers so it makes me feel better to see others like her. Here she is with my BO.

Ok I hope I am not butting in here. Here are some of my faverolles. I always thought this dark one was a little cockerel when it was a chick. It has always been bigger and different and darker from the others, out of the same lot of eggs. The breeder was recommended by the Faverolles club of Australia.

Compared to the other girls( I am assuming it is a little pullet) it is so different. Also very different to the little cockerel.

Here it is as a chick, the only one with racing stripes

What do you all think? It also has blue grey skin on its legs and feet. NOT white!
Sorry to edit...had to swap photos

It does look to be a pullet. Did the breeder have other colored Faverolles? I forget what colors are available there. Or maybe she is an accidental cross?

Yes I have 2 blues and a splash from the same breeder, she also said she had cuckoo and whites available. :/
