Faverolle Pullet or Cockerel

[arose67]

This is my first time raising chickens. I bought these from Runnings as 1 week old chicks. They are about 7 weeks now. I am concerned that this Faverolle may not be a rooster. What do you think???

Looks like a cockerel to me.

Cockerel.

That's what I figured. This one grew bigger and is quite a bit more assertive than the others. Thanks for help.

Cockerel.

I agree.

He's very handsome. I'm also raising chickens for the first time and purchasd what was supposeo be 2 faveroles pullets, but started noticing color differences. Turns out I got one of each. Here's Sammy and Nugget.

Phoenixsw--are you going to be able to keep your rooster? I had to give mine away

I'm hoping to be able to keep him. He's very sweet and already very protective of his girls. I have the collars to try once he starts to crow, but there have been others in our neighborhood with them, so we'll see.

What is a collar?
