this isn't a faverolle rooster, its more likely an easter-egger rooster. Faverolle roosters don't come color in like that unless it is a white one which are extremely rare! Also it as a pea comb (or appears to) and faverolles have single combs. (On second look, it may be a single comb the pictures not real clear. but I don't know about faverolle.

very weird! he came from pasafinofarms on here...i dont think she sells EE's...just golden cuckoos and Favs.....ummm...now ya got me wondering...you sure they cant be that light?

Looks like a single comb...

And... Looks like a roo, a white faverolle roo.

But, what color are the legs?

 

[kentuckysilkies]

The coloration is totally wrong for a Fav. rooster. Based on coloration for the breed I would say pullet or else a mutant.

What colour/variety is the chick supposed to be? It's certainly not salmon. The first photo looks like a pea comb, the 2nd like a single--which is it?

I see beard & muffs; does it have feathered legs & feet and 5 toes?

well, now i feel bad because i just gave him away early this afternoon to a guy..and i told him he was a Salmon Fav. and that i was pretty sure he was a roo. Which is what i THOUGHT he was...because i bought the eggs as pure bred eggs...i had 3 hatch from the Fav. eggs...and 2 very early on had the black on the wings..and i was told that was an indicator of a roo...so i gave them to another BYC'R....and i kept this one to watch because i thought it was a hen because it was so light. but as he grew..and the comb got bigger and pretty red for a 5 week old. i started to think he was a roo..not a hen...*sigh* i hope that guy isnt upset with me now! i dont want him to think i mislead him about the breed of the bird! UGH! are you guys positive they dont come in white? it had the feathered feet and muffs of a Fav.....maybe her line has a white gene??..
