If the pullets are salmon, they will have black in their tail feathers and primary wing feathers. If they are blue salmon, they will have a slate gray color instead of black.

Updated photos. I'm selling a couple of roosters soon. I need to know whether or not he's worth my time to keep or if I should sell him. He is almost 3 months old. He's more then 10 inches tall at the moment. Considering his daddy was a bantam that seems pretty good.

I know color will change, mainly I am looking for advice on his type, beard, face and comb.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure they are Blue Salmon, then.

Good article Pete.
When I started with Faverolles bantams my hens all had white earlobes. A Rhode Island red breeder set me straight. All my hens were laying white eggs except one that laid a slightly tinted egg. He told me that white earlobes come from hens laying white eggs. I took that hen laying the slightly tinted egg and hatched as many chicks as I could. I was lucky enough to have a male that had red earlobes. I kept all her pullets, good and bad, and bred them back to their father with the red earlobes. From that cross the pullets had pink earlobes. The earlobes improved over the years. It took me quite a while to get where I wanted to be.
I had given my last salmon bantams to Ed Willougyby. He had them about a year and he wanted to get rid of them so I took them back. It looks like I have to focus on the earlobes again. Some of the pullets I hatched this year I don't like. They're to thin. If you have a bird with a thin head it will have a thin body, a wide head a wide body. This is one of the things I always look for.
Sorry I haven't been on here for a while, but working 12 hour days is killing me. I just have enough time to feed and water my birds. Hopefully I can retire soon.

At the time I didn't have mine yet I don't think and most are still younger than what you asked for. 8 months? But I'll send you the info if you want.
