Faverolles Thread

[Bhmathews]

Hi! I love reading this thread! I recently hatched Salmon Favorelles (the Easter HAL), and am loving these birds. These are so sweet and so pretty!

I have a question about sexing. Most of the chicks are easy to tell at this stage already, like this guy (who is so full of boy-ness he's already chest bumping and trying to crow, goodness help me):

But we have one sweetheart who initially we thought was a cockerel because the dark wing feathers were fairly defined early on. But now I'm not so sure. Could you help me out?

it's name is Cheeky

This one has identical coloring to Cheeky as a teeny chick, and is feathering out similarity. Both are a tad behind the other Favs, both hens and cockerels. What do you think? Boy or girl?

.

Thanks in advance! I'm learning so much from you all!

For sure a pullet

My 4 Favs from a hatchery (pictured a couple pages back) had lots of black in them. They're 8 weeks now and certainly girls (despite their "poor" coloring)
