I'm thinking pullet. May just be wishful thinking.

Then there's this one I originally thought was pullet but I'm not so sure. This one has very light blue on most of the wing feathers.

Looks like my hatch is done, with 1 egg pending. I'm very pleased to have these pure Bantam Blue Salmon Faverolles chicks, sent to me by Henry (Pen #1). It was a "smooth" hatch that took about 24 hrs. between the 1st chick to the last one to hatch, "dry incubation" method used. They are all very fluffy, strong & in the 1st week brooder (which is a 3 gal container, set inside a larger clear plastic container to cut any drafts, a red heat lamp, soft layers of pine shavings, paper towel, waffle shelf liner, ground chick starter feed sprinkled around, a tiny feed container & a tiny water container with marbles so they won't drown). The 2 tiny containers are from a yogurt that has the fruit in the top container to mix into the bottom container yourself (you pay xtra for that privalege your know, ha!). Can hardly wait to see them grow up, but for now, I'll just enjoy their fuzzy cuteness. Fingers are crossed for some nice pullets to go with my unrelated roos, dreaming of things to come. The Bantam Favs are my all time favorite breed, you all know why. They're just so sweet & more!

Here's my 7 Bantam Favs chickies all cozy & warm. Thanks hcammack!

Here's my 2 Bantam Faverolles roos Pepe Le Peu (Salmon) & Pierre Le Garre (Blue Salmon)

Hi y'all...

I also posted this under the wanted index, but I am seriously looking for some very young salmon favs, or blue favs, or whatever you have, anywhere within a days' drive of CA, or if you are willing to ship. Thanks Henry for your suggestions, unfortunately neither one panned out.

Please if you hear of anyone with just a few extra chicks, I would even happily take at least one roo. Please, please let me know. Thanks, Suz

Change my vote to pullet on the splash now that I looked at the wings a second time. I am not sure about that second one could a very light blue or another splash.

I didn't read through all the other 50 or so posts after this, but did you ever find a home for your babies? And where in OR are you? Thanks, Suz

I'm hoping for some help, I'm afraid I have a bunch of boys and I need some experts!

We're exactly at 2 weeks when these pics were taken. Of course I'm wondering about gender but any additional info on coloring, etc would be great! Not many comb pics but on the ones in question they're not as prominent as in some of the ones where I'm "pretty sure" they're boys. These are from Melissa's eggs if that helps.

#1-pretty sure girl...afraid my only one???

#2-Thought maybe a white but very very light coloring on wings. Figured he's a boy because of the slow feathering?

#3-Pretty sure boy...

#4-Pretty sure boy...

#5-Obvious slow feathering makes me think boy. Wondering if he's a white? No coloring yet on wings but they're so small yet! 2nd pic below is a close up of his wing:

#6-Pretty sure boy..

#7-Again, very very light coloring on wings. Rounded wing tips, no comb, but feathering so slowly? Not sure...

#8-Pretty sure boy...

Well, I'm no expert... but I betcha some of those are girls. I couple of my girls were late with feathering.
Pretty birds... mine are 5 weeks now and they are looking real scrappy
