Faverolle sexing

[Danielprice]

Hello, I was wondering if there is someone who can help me with sexing my salmon Faverolle 3 week old , I was under the empression that I would be able to tell wether it was male or female after hatch by wether it had dark or light feathers, it had light feather up until 2 weeks ago and since then has gotten a lot darker. Am I right to assume this is male from now on or will the feathering change again over the course of a few weeks ‍ All feedback is welcome

He's a male.
Females do not have dark feathers.
This is my boy at 17.5 weeks.

He possibly is a cockerel, but you have to wait to see 3 weeks is a very young age to start sexing.

The females are much lighter, this is a cockerel.

Cockerel.

Too much black in the wings for it to be a hen at that age. Trust me i know from experience. All mine that had that coloring at that age turned out to be males.

Thanks all, I appreciate the response

They make wonderful roosters if you are able to keep him

I would still wait for another 10 weeks as 3 weeks is quite young to sex

I would love to keep him unfortunately I don’t think my neighbors would appreciate that

Wait to sex him/her for about 10 weeks as you may be wrong.
