Here are my males can you help me pick the best one to pair with my best hen i personally like the one in pic three but which do you feel is best? Will post a pic of the Pullet later.

They are way too young to make those decisions right now. You shouldn't choose breeders until they are at least 8 months old.

I meant which one to take to the show and will do better the 4-h fair Is in July

How old are they now? I don't think boys show well until they are close to a year old at least...

I know I just have "hatchery" chickens, but I have to say, my Salmon Faverolles "chicks" are SO sweet! When they were around eight weeks old, I put a three week old and a five week old chick in their coop with them. The SFs were more afraid of the new chicks than the new chicks were of them. That night, they were all snuggled in their henhouse together. None of my other chickens (even as chicks) were ever that accepting of new introductions.

So that pen consists of my two SFs, a SLW, and a Cochin (haven't quite figured out, yet, it's coloring). They are still a bit timid with me, and are not so quick to come up to me, but I didn't get to spend as much time with them as I would have liked to, either, so I don't expect them to come running to me when I go into the pen. Still lovely birds!

Oh don't give up on them being friendly. We didn't get ours till 10 weeks but over the course of two weeks they went from shy to roosting on my arm
I found them hugely food motivated lol

Yeah, just give them time - they're not very shy! Maybe they're just getting to know you right now
