Charlie is the one looking at the camera, his sister Chloe is to the right and almost fully feathered in her wings, i'd dsay they are over a month in this pic.

Here's one, I wanna say 8 weeks?? Can't remember exactly. (This is the cockerel that I posted the adult pic of yesterday)

Thanks so much. So it looks like the males tend to have a much darker mottle color than the females?

Yes you should be able to sex your faverolles at 2-3 weeks of age by looking at wing feathers. It doesn't always hold true I though some of my hens were cockeral and then the blossomed into beautiful ladies by the time the back and tail feathers come in more you can sex them with great success.

Here's a pic of my roo "Sammy" when he was 3 weeks old.

Sammy is so cute hope to have some babies soon just like him do you have bantams or standards?

Sammy is a darling! I have only had one Favorolle mix so far and it turned out to be a roo. Im still hoping for some mixed pullets. Im curious as to how they will look. My roo mix looked just like his dad but with a waddle and little muff.

GREAT! I love them they are just to goofy mine are out running around and I can hear my boy crowing his little heart out right now. I am getting another pair in the mail tommorow or Wednesday and I am hatching them like crazy!
