Is this Salmon Favorelle a roo or pullet? It’s supposed to be a pullet. This one does not look like the other three I have. They are 22 weeks old.

The photo at the end with the two are what my other three look like.

At 22 weeks a cockerel's comb would be RED. The size and color of comb is appropriate for a 22 week old pullet.

This is a picture of a salmon faverolle rooster from the cackle hatchery website. You can see that his chest, feet, and tail are all black. I can't see your bird's tail, but her chest and legs are pale, which is the female color pattern.

I agree there's something not quite right about this bird. The chest is too pale, silvery?, for a salmon faverolle. That comb is pretty funky too (I like the weird little sprig on the front, reminds me of a turkey)

Thank you. Looking at pictures I just wasn’t sure. I am very happy it’s a pullet even if not a pureblood.
