I have 4 salmon faverolles chicks, they are just over 2 weeks old.
The first one to hatch was pure yellow, has the smallest wing feathers and likes to peck at me. I suspect a cockerel. The second has black racing stripes and some darker wing feathers. I am confused about this one. The last two are almost identical, mostly yellow, mostly salmon wings, I suspect they are pullets. What do you think?
#1 cockerel?
#2 confused?
#3 pullet?
#4 pullet?
Hi Candace,Hello everyone, I was told to try this here. These birds are from R Fuzzy Butt Poultry farm in Coquille Oregon.
Hi Candace,
I am pretty new to sexing Favs so take this with a grain of salt. I do better when I can see the shoulder feathers coming in. Because of that, 2, 3 and 4 look like pullets to me. I can't see the shoulder for number 1.
It is probably a cockerel then. They are notoriously slow feathering and the wing feathers are pretty dark.#1 does not have any shoulder feathers coming in, even though it hatched a full day before the others. The wing shape is different than the others also.
