Confused new chicken mama

oh no i was so hoping a hen. Its the funniest sweetest one. Thank you for the reply

Are roosters allowed in your area? Even if you have neighbors if the law says you can have them or doesn't say you can't, and if it has no chicken-specific noise ordinances, you could keep roosters.

Defiantly looks like a rooster, and defiantly some amauracana, but he has the coloring of a salmon favorlell so maybe mix of the too?

faverolles have five toes feathered feet and single combs

They said maybe a mix, genetics are a funny thing....But they look kinda like a Brahma to me lol. I guess to each his own, who knows what breed this chicken is!

I can keep roosters but then my SLW offspring will all be crossed.

You could try making a batchler pad for him or making a whole seperate flock. That's a good idea for keeping multiple roos anyways if you wish to in the future.

Its gorgeous (still hoping its a manly hen). I might have to resign to having mixed breed offspring.

We've always had mixed breed flocks growing up. Of course, we never bred our chickens! We might've let some broodies try and hatch some chicks but none of our hens ever went broody, that is until no more roos were around to fertilize the eggs...I know you can buy eggs but we weren't really prepared for hatching at that point anyways
