Chicks - Murray mcmurray

[Heather94]

I have 3 chicks im wondering about. They were shipped from Murray mcmurray on 4/2/19. So about 2 weeks old.

Chick 1 - supposed to be a sexed female salmon Faverolle. I’ve been reading that you can tell thier gender early by feather color, does this look too dark for female?

Chick 2 - Turken/naked neck. What color will this baby be? I’ve got 8 turkens, but this is the only one of this color. Others are yellow/white and buff colored.

Chicks 3 - Cochin. What color? And is it a roo? It’s taking so long to get feathers, and he’s pretty big already.

Too young to sex. Repost when they are 6-8 weeks old.

What color are chick 2 & 3? Not real sure on coloring for them :\

I’ve been seeing that salmon Faverolles can be sexed based on feather colors?

Color of them can’t be definitively determined until they have feathered out.

1. Yes, it is easy to sex faverolles, but you have to wait until they have chest feathers.
2. Looks gold duckwing.
3. Probably female. Cochins are slow-maturing and slow feathering. My guess is partridge cochin, but not a ton to go on. Lacks the classic "chipmunk stripes" but some do.

The Cochin is supposed to be partridge, but didn’t look like any of the chicks I could find on google! It’s my only LF Cochin, I have several bantam Cochins that feathered out pretty quickly it seems, so I didn’t really have any other LF Cochins to compare to

And ok awesome! I’ll post new pics once the SF has chest feathers! Thanks!
