Confused over Faverolle’s

[Mrs J]

Hi Everyone
I am completely confused! After reading posts on here and google, I thought if faverolle’s have black chests, they were cockerels, the lighter one’s female. My light one acts like a cockerel, chest bumping anything and anyone who gets in its way. And the 2 dark ones are so laid back and loving. They are 6 weeks old…is this normal or have I got it the wrong way around

I had a hatchery pullet that had black on her chest once

Where did you get them?

Both look like cockerels, but the one with lots of white looks maybe like a mix.

Picture? Thats a pretty large fault.

Here you are! I’m the one with all the pictures! (Not the best picture. She doesn’t like to sit still!)

Hii
I got them off my cousin. He has Faverolles, black rocks and Rhode Island reds, he keeps the faverolle’s in a different pen and marked the eggs so I would know what was what when they hatched.

It’s just so confusing isn’t it

@Little Baby Bean do you know anything about faverolle’s

 

[Mrs J]

Both are cockerels. They will get their adult coloring and feathers later. Right now at their age, it can be a little colorful.

Just my luck!

Thanks for the tag I have one faverolle pullet and she does not have any black on her. (Fun fact - she is also muffless!)
