Hey everyone - just looking for some input from the more experienced. This is our first time with chicks and so far, it's been pretty seamless buttttt 2 out of my salmon faverolles might be roosters. I order them all from a hatchery in my state and I wasn't really prepared for a roo, let alone possibly 2, with my small flock. Here are some photos. I see larger, redder combs, darker coloring (you can see my much lighter female near them), and these two have been having some standoffs (which I know hens do that too). What say you? I did contact the hatchery at 4 weeks and they said "let them feather out a bit more" but... I feel like it's pretty obvious at this point however, I know all of these indicators aren't concrete.
