Calling the Salmon Faverolle People!!

[Frazzemrat1]

Ok, so this chick isn't a Faverolle... I know that. What I'm really interested in is the Salmon part.

This chick is from a project breeding group for salmon araucanas. Now.... with everything I've learned on here, even though I've never had a salmon chicken before.... This looks like male coloring, isn't it? My breeder said she thought it was a pullet... but I'm not so sure.

Thoughts?

Male salmon faverolles have blackish/dark feathering yes.

Did you say that chick a cross between an araucana and a faverolle? What color araucana is it crossed with? I wonder if the black could be from that?

I don't know what she's using to create the salmon in the araucana, but I doubt its Faverolle. There'd be too much to have to then breed out, like the muffs, feathered legs, brown eggs etc.

I would think that would be male coloring BUT.... I have seen a lot of hatchery Salmon Faverolles that color turn out to be pullets.... so I honestly don't know what to expect?

Salmon Araucanas have already been created. Ann Charles has a picture of a pullet on her site.
@Frazzemrat1 I think this chick is the mystery color chick.

Well, this chick is from that line. I bought her/him from Ann.

I’m throwing this out here because it seems that this thread fought the attention of the salmon favorelle breed people.

I got a rare breed egg assortment for my birthday last December and on January 29, 2019 out hatches the most darling salmon favorelle. Since I don’t know the breed at all and don’t have any - I placed her with the nicest family where a little girl took to the bird.

While away on vacation, despite someone attentively caring for the bird- she went missing. One can only assume predators. Anyway, the father returned home before the children for work- to find her gone. (They have a flock of five various breed hens)

He’s asked me to find a look alike and fast. Today is 6/24-19. He’s got five days.

We do know the little girl may know the difference but it’s a chance he’s willing to take.

Again, the bird was born 1/29/19
Gender is pullet/ hen
Color is buff (I assume the breed uses buff to ID the yellow plumage color?)

Please reply or tag anyone who may have a look alike replacement/ body double ;-) or text or call me at 262-888-0446
